Florida man arrested for allegedly driving lawn mower drunk down busy highway
[NYPD] Drivers on a busy Florida highway were in for a surprise when police pulled over an intoxicated man behind the wheel — of a lawn mower.

Calls began flooding into the Florida Highway Patrol of a man erratically driving a lawn mower down Suncoast Parkway at around 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Fox 13 reported.

A trooper then arrived on scene about 20 minutes later and found driver Christopher Spain, 38, sitting on the mower on the shoulder of the highway.

The Florida Highway Patrol stated that the trooper immediately observed signs of impairment in Spain, including pinpoint pupils, flushed skin, a dry mouth, and irritation on the inside of his nose.

The trooper then attempted to give him a field sobriety test multiple times, but Spain wasn’t having it and became uncooperative after the third attempt.

Spain was then arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

He was booked into the Hernando County Jail and was released Friday afternoon on $500 bond, Fox 13 reported.

Spain isn’t the first Floridian to be charged with a DUI while operating a lawn mower.
