Florida Man Arrested for DUI on a Beer Loaded Lawn Mower
When you think of a wild Friday night, cruising down the highway on a lawn tractor with a cold beer in hand probably isn’t the first image that comes to mind. But leave it to Florida man, Charlie Bennie Harmon, who defies convention and drives drunk in style!
According to Villages News, Charlie Bennie Harmon, age 59, was living his best life on a bright orange Kubota lawn mower. It’s 8:30 p.m. on a Friday is his racetrack, and he’s zipping along the highway with No lights. No problem, right?
But the party didn’t stop there. Our man Charlie had a little collection going on. Like a beer nestled comfortably in a cup holder. And surprise, surprise, he wasn’t alone in his boozy joyride. Three more cans of liquid courage were stashed within the belly of the beast.
Suds and Sirens:
When the cops finally caught up with him in a parking. The officer must have wondered if he’d stumbled into some kind of beer-fueled circus. Charlie, ever the witty one, claimed he had a drivers license and could’ve hopped into a car, but he “preferred” the mower. Why, you ask? Well, he had been grilling, but ran out of beer, so naturally, he was on a quest for more brewskis.
Initially, Charlie was game for some field sobriety tests, but it seems the reality of the situation sobered him up faster than any breathalyzer could. He declared himself “unfit” for any exercise involving walking or balance. Perhaps his idea of balance involved having a beer in each hand?
It’s not Charlie’s first rodeo, though. Back in 2006, he had a date with the law on a similar drunk driving charge. This time, he topped it off with a refusing again to take breath test.
In the end, the law prevailed, and Charlie was arrested for driving drunk and refusal to take a breath test. But don’t worry, he’s back on the streets. It only cost him a mere $3,000 bond. So, if you ever find yourself on the highway, keep an eye out for the lawnmower racer with a taste for adventure and beer.
The Price Of Beer In Every NFL Stadium For The 2023 Season
Inflation is everywhere, you can’t hide from it. Here in Florida gas prices are once again inching up to 4 dollars a gallon. I just want to go to a game, have a few drinks, and leave the real world behind for a few hours. But, we need to maintain a budget. That’s why you should always pregame. I saw that an Eagles fan showed up in the parking lot at 4:30 am for an 8:15 pm kickoff. That’s some absolute dedication there. Did someone track that guy down to see if he was still conscious come game time? I admire you, sir. I’m guessing if this guy could still function at an NFL game, he was unfazed by the price of beer in the stadium.
So, you got a couple in you, and you’re ready to head into the stadium. That’s where I miss the old days of cash. With cash, you knew how much you had, and that’s what you spent. Credit cards can get out of hand. We took a bus from Naples, Florida to a Dolphins game and I was pretty drunk before I got to Hard Rock in Miami. I still managed to spend over $200 in drinks.
So let’s examine the price of a beer in each of the 32 NFL stadiums.
I realize the way we rank ’em can be a bit controversial. Last year, Fox5 in Washington, DC was upset at me because the Commanders had the most expensive beer and I called them out for it. Their cheapest beer was $16. More than triple some of the others. I publicly shamed Fed Ex Field, the home of the Washington Commanders for having the most expensive-lowest priced beer in the NFL. Less than a year later, Dan Snyder sold the team. And guess what? There’s now cheaper beer prices at Fed Ex Field. YOU’RE WELCOME, WASHINGTON (and your team is much better this year, too).
This year, bookies.com collected the necessary data. They reached out to teams and used other local sources, then took beer prices and converted them all to 16-ounce size. So this year it’s an apples to apple thing. How much is 16 oz of beer? I guess Los Angeles is gonna be mad at me this year, so here goes…
