Man pleads guilty to La-Z-Boy crash

PROCTOR, Minn. (UPI) -- A Minnesota man pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated -- in a motorized easy chair he crashed into a parked car.

Dennis LeRoy Anderson, 62, of Proctor, who pleaded guilty Monday in St. Louis County District Court, was fined $1,000 and given two years of probation, the Duluth (Minn.) News Tribune reported.

Judge Heather Sweetland of the 6th Judicial District stayed two years' jail and half of a $2,000 fine.

The criminal complaint against Anderson said he tried to drive the motorized La-Z-Boy chair home from a Proctor bar after drinking eight or nine beers.

Police arrived after he hit a parked car with the chair, powered by a converted lawnmower, and his blood alcohol content was 0.29 percent, more than three times the legal limit for driving. No one was injured.
