  1. Huh. I didn't know that about George Jones. He rode a lawnmower to the liquor store because his wife hid all the car keys. White Lightnin!

  2. Besides the DUI they charged him with failing to stay in the right lane & failure to fasten seatbelt.

    1. He didn't pay a toll in exchange for giving the ditches a quick haircut.

  6. Back when I lived in NC, a guy got charged with DUI while riding a horse to buy more beer.

  7. In WNC, in Cullowhee, NC to be specific, there was a guy who could be seen driving his riding mower from Cullowhee to Sylva and from there to Waynesville, 10 miles to Sylva and about another 18 miles to Waynesville over Balsam Gap. He was a little tetched in the head, but was mostly harmless.
