Police: Man drove drunk, carried box of beer on lawn tractor
WASHINGTONVILLE (AP) – Authorities say state troopers had to use a rope to secure a combative 25-year-old man who was drunk as he drove a lawn tractor and carried a box of beer along a central Pennsylvania highway.
The Daily Item reports Tyler Anspach also threatened a trooper after he was apprehended on July 13 while driving his tractor to a friend’s house in Limestone Township.
Police were called around 9:30 p.m. that night about an agitated man making threats and driving a lawn mower along the road. Court documents show that responding troopers could smell alcohol on Anspach and saw him stumble.
His blood-alcohol content was 0.21 percent. That’s nearly triple the legal limit.
He’s charged with DUI, disorderly conduct and related offenses.
Court documents don’t list an attorney for him.
