Man in Canada arrested for driving lawn mower on road while drunk

A ride on a tractor turned into a run-in with police for a man and a woman in Canada.

The man told police he was giving his female passenger a ride to get cigarettes at a nearby gas station and felt he was being responsible by not driving a car.

Authorities arrested the man for Impaired Operation by alcohol and charges are pending.

Photos of the stop were posted on the Facebook page of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba as a reminder that it is illegal to drive any type of motor vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol.
