Police: Drunk Driver Arrested Driving Front End Loader

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A driver was arrested after taking a front end loader out onto the streets over the weekend in Chisago County.

According to the county sheriff's office, the driver took the piece of equipment out and was arrested at 1 a.m. Sunday.

Authorities said the driver believed it was snowing out. At the time, the recent snow event had not yet begun.

Officers said they determined the driver was indeed intoxicated, and he was subsequently taken into custody.

He was not immediately identified.

On their Facebook page, the county sheriff's office posted this quote: "I don't always drive my front end loader to Stacy, but when I do, I am probably drunk."
