Police Flag Down Riding Lawn Mower In Seaforth

A Huron East man found out the hard way that it is illegal to operate a riding lawn mower while over the legal limit.

An officer stopped a man on a riding lawn mower on West William St. in Seaforth late in the evening last Friday. The headlamp on the mower was not on and it was being driven on the wrong side of the road. The driver was given a roadside screening test and he failed and was taken to the Huron OPP Detachment for further tests.

Two breath samples registered over the legal limit.

The driver of the lawn mower was also prohibited from driving due to previous convictions.

A 54-year old from Huron East faces two charges.
