TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — It's not unusual for officers to pull over suspected drunken drivers on the highways of Kansas. But it is fairly rare to bust a suspected drunken driver while he's driving a riding lawnmower.
That's what Shawnee County Sheriff's deputies say they encountered Wednesday afternoon when they spotted a man later identified as 25-year-old Dalton D. Hunt, according to arrest records, driving a lawnmower on the southbound shoulder of U.S. Highway 75 near Topeka.
Deputies stopped and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence after he failed a field sobriety test.
