Drunk on a lawnmower

VERMILION, Ohio -- A drunk man who drove a lawnmower to a store about a mile from his house was arrested on his way home, according to police.

Dondi Bowles, 50, was arrested Friday night as he drove the mower on a sidewalk.

Police said a breath test showed that Bowles' blood alcohol level was 0.144 percent, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

It was his third DUI arrest in six months, they said.

The lawnmower was towed. Vermilion is on Lake Erie, about 40 miles west of Cleveland.
