I don't know why but this story was just LOL funny to me. :)

Zamboni?

Did someone mention driving a Zamboni while drunk?

Strangely enough, they have arrested a bicycle rider here with the same charge and made it stick.

But since he already had his license pulled for DWI, they had no way left to punish him, except take his ride.

That reminds me of the state motto of South Dakota:

"At least we're not North Dakota."

Well, I'm just shocked, SHOCKED...that they didn't also hit him with tickets for driving without a seatbelt OR a helmet. DWI at the grocery....Oh, the humanity......

Let's be realistic here. Most everywhere has laws regarding public disorderliness and the like.

The implication here is that this guy was not just a little wobbly going down the isle. That he was being a major moron and slamming around in the cart. He rams that cart into an older person or kid and whammo, broken arm. Followed by gazillion dollar lawsuit. Or some old lady hip is fractured and she never walks again. Your mother or aunt maybe?

Sorry, but I do all the grocery shopping and it would be very easy to injure someone if you were being a total a$$ like that Personally, I'd have tripped the SOB and kicked him in the nads. I'm fed up with going places in public and being subjected to that kind of crap. If it happened when my kid was 3 and went with me, they wouldn't have need the cops. Just an ambulance.

While the cops couldn't nab him for driving under the influence he was slapped with misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct.

After a 100+mph chase down the frozen food aisle videotaped by police helicopter, Mattson was arrested for having 13 items at the express line.

Ooooh, can we have shopping cart drivers arrested for overspending, too? I'll visit my wife every week, and promise to bail her out if she goes into a Shoppers Anonymous program.

Figured with your knowledge of the golf-cart set you'd enjoy this.
