A man from Belleview, Florida, is facing drunken driving charges after allegedly riding his lawnmower while drunk.
29-year-old Ron Martin was reportedly under the influence when he and a female passenger, Charlene Mallorey, stole a riding lawnmower and crashed it. Both people fell off the mower when it crashed.
According to a police report, a school bus full of children supposedly saw the accident. The children began laughing at the people who had fallen off the lawnmower. Martin then began banging on the bus window in an alleged attempt to enter the bus and discipline the children for their behavior.
The bus driver claims the lawnmower struck the bus prior to tipping. When police officers responded to the scene, Martin refused a breathalyzer and was taken to Marion County Jail. The officers also claimed that Martin threatened them during the arrest proceedings. He was charged with DUI, threat to a public servant and criminal mischief.
