Police Charge Man Over Beer Run On Lawnmower


Witnesses spotted Ill. driver weaving in and out of traffic on garden vehicle

BELLEVILLE, Ill.
- With a revoked license because of a previous drunken-driving conviction, Dennis Cretton shouldn't drive. But authorities said that didn't stop the 49-year-old man from drunkenly driving up to a gas station for more beer — on his yellow riding lawnmower.

Cretton was charged with felony aggravated driving under the influence after neighbors reported he was weaving in and out of traffic on his lawnmower Friday night.

When deputies tried to stop him, authorities said Bretton drove the mower into his home's front yard, his 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best spilling onto the ground along the way.

A lawn mower is a vehicle, just as a car, a bicycle, or a horse. DUI is DUI. Enough said.
