Is there something wacky in the water this week? First this "ZUI" story. Now Elizabeth sends me this:
Man Accused of Drunk Shopping Cart Driving
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) -- A man is accused of driving an electric-powered shopping cart around a grocery store here while drunk, endangering other customers.
Clifford Mattson, 27, was charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, Detective Sue Schwab said Tuesday.
Schwab said police went to the Leevers grocery store Monday afternoon, after reports of a drunken man driving the shopping cart into people and nearly knocking them down.
"He appeared to be actually driving after them," Schwab said. No one was hurt, she said.
The maximum penalty for the misdemeanor charge is 30 days in jail and a $500 fine, Schwab said. A court hearing was set for July 19.
