A motorized Lazy Boy is the DUI vehicle

A 62-year-old Minnesota man, Dennis LeRoy Anderson, was charged with DUI after driving home from a bar on his motorized Lazy Boy.

The pimped out vehicle runs on a lawnmower motor, has a stereo, headlights, and, of course, handy cup holders. And you’ll love this, a sticker on the back reads: “Hell yeah, it’s fast!”

Dennis drove such vehicle to the bar one day in August 2008, downed about 8-9 beers then drove his Lazy Boy home. Everything was fun and games until he crashed into a parked car on the way. Yes, it was parked.

His blood alcohol level was a staggering .29 at the time of his arrest. He failed all sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18-months in jail and slapped with a $2000 fine. However, the judge took mercy on old Dennis and stayed his term – as long as he completes an alcohol course, submits to random testing and completes supervised probation for 24-months. His days of cruising the hood in the Lazy Boy, now a distant memory. Not that he actually does remember..

I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I have a friend who seriously has something similar to the Lazy Boy (yeah, I have friends in low places) except his is a motorized barstool. It’s really pretty sweet, but it’s definitely hillbilly bling!
