Lawnmower beer run leads to UI charge
Boston Globe
But he wasn’t operating a car or truck — he was on a lawn mower. Police say 51-year-old Danforth Ross of Vassalboro was charged May 29 with operating under the influence after he and a friend made a beer run on a riding lawn mower. The arrest came after the two emerged from a variety store with two cases of beer. Ross’ driver’s license had been revoked so he and a passenger opted for the lawn mower. Trooper Joe Chretien made the arrest after getting flagged down by several motorists warning of a wayward mower. Danforth couldn’t be reached for comment.

likes to do things differently. After one year of work each employee receives an ownership stake in the company and a free custom bicycle. After five years every employee enjoys an all-expenses-paid trip to Belgium — the country whose centuries-old beer tradition serves as a model for the Fort Collins Colo. h yeah and employees get two free six-packs of beer a week. "There’s something wrong if making beer can’t be fun" says CE Kim Jordan who co-founded the company with her husband Jeff Lebesch in 1991 (he retired a decade later). The perks aren’t just for fun though.
