(EVANSVILLE) - Police in southern Indiana say a man who drove a lawnmower on an Evansville street with a blood-alcohol level more than five times the legal limit was given a ticket for public intoxication.
The Evansville Courier & Press reports 27-year-old Trevor Bates of Evansville was stopped by police after witnesses reported seeing him on the lawn mower with his daughter on his lap and a 50-year-old woman on the lawn mower's deck.
Witnesses says Bates nearly fell from the mower several times and was nearly hit by traffic. The legal limit to operate a vehicle on roads in Indiana is 0.08 percent. Evansville police Bates had a blood-alcohol content of 0.445 percent.
Bates could not be reached for comment because there was no telephone listing for him.
