A Northern Colorado man has been arrested on suspicion on DUI while was driving a lawnmower.
Police said Kenneth Welton was driving drunk from bar to bar along a very busy road in Garden City on a riding lawnmower.
“He couldn’t stand on his own. He was showing signs of impairment,” said Weld County Sheriff’s Sgt. Sean Standridge.
Welton’s driver’s licence had been revoked when he was arrested.
From jail, Welton, 53, said he was not using the lawnmower to get around,
but instead to take care of overgrown weeds.
“It was just surprising, it was just a total shock. What are you kidding me?

“I haven’t been, I’ve been working, I have been mowing, I haven’t been bar hopping,” said Welton. Standridge said deputies arrested Welton on Tuesday night after getting 911 calls from concerned drivers.
“He’s lucky he didn’t hurt somebody or get himself hurt from somebody hitting him,” added Standridge.

And after he rode his lawnmower to the bar, he went in and asked for a grasshopper.
Ba-doom tish.
Actually, reminds me of these related jokes:
A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Say, you know we have a drink named after you?" The grasshopper says, "No kidding? You have a drink named 'Charlie'?"
A zombie walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Say, you know we have a drink named after you?" The zombie says, "No kidding! You have a drink named 'Fred'?"
A green iguana walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Say, you know we have a drink named after you?" The iguana says, "No kidding? You have a drink named 'Juan'?"
There must be a million of these.
And, folks, I'll be here all week.
