Lawn mower DUI


This one was brought to you by Funston care of the Moultrie Observer.

A Funston man was apprehended Saturday night after he allegedly drove a stolen lawn mower while intoxicated near a roadway. George Barry Demott, 58, was charged with DUI.

A Colquitt County sheriff’s deputy was called to Kendallwood Church Road about 7 p.m. Saturday about a man riding a lawn mower without headlights. He said he spotted Demott hunched over the steering wheel of the lawn mower, which was parked just off of the white line of Kendallwood Church Road.

Demott blew a .128 on the deputy’s portable intoxilyzer and Demott was placed under arrest. His sister was asked to pickup her lawn tractor that she said her brother took witout permission.

Where does this get filed? Equipment? Lawn and Garden? Darwin award nominees?
