It sounds bad to have gotten a DWI in a chair, but what’s the fun of having a tricked-out ride like this if you can’t enjoy it with a beer? Just kidding, of course, I’d never support drinking while operating any moving vehicle. Even if it is a chair.
Minnesotan Dennis LeRoy pleaded guilty to his DWI in a chair, after being apprehended having too good a time in his stylish ride. The chair runs on a lawnmower engine, and is equipped with a stereo and cup holders.
