A Minnesota man has been convicted after driving his motorized La-Z-Boy lounge chair into a parked vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

The 62-year-old drove his motorized chair into a vehicle parked near the bar where he had consumed several beers. According to a report from the Duluth News-Tribune, his blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.29, more than three times the legal limit to drive.

An officer with the Proctor, Minn., police said, "The chair was powered by a converted lawnmower with a Briggs & Stratton engine. It has a stereo, cup holders and other custom options, including different power levels...The chair had a small steering wheel, about a third of the size of a golf cart's, coming straight up from the middle of the La-Z-Boy."

Perhaps DWR (driving while reclined) laws soon will hit the books.

A would-be robber in Little Rock, Ark., lost his wallet during an attempted robbery. Later he phoned the victim and asked for it to be returned, according to an Oct. 14 AP story.

Apparently the 23-year-old man tried to rob another man at gunpoint at his home but fled. In the process, he dropped his wallet, then later called and asked the victim to return the wallet at a service station in North Little Rock.

Police were interviewing the victim when the call came. They notified other officers, who found the suspect outside the service station and arrested him after a short foot chase.

No word as to whether the man got his wallet back.
