Man Arrested for Drunk Driving a Motorized Cooler
Leslie J. "Bomber" Marr learned this the hard way when he was arrested on Memorial Day in Whitehall, NY and charged with DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle after police saw him swerving around the streets and driving on the sidewalk... on a cooler. Marr was driving around town on a Cruizin Cooler, which puts a seat on top of a three-wheeled cooler and attaches an electric motor similar to those found on electric scooters. It even has a hatch so you can pull out a icy cold drink while driving. The hatch also has a cup/can holder on top, suggesting that this sort of activity is exactly what the designers had in mind.
Under state law, the cooler is still considered a motor vehicle so sobriety is a must, and a license is highly recommended. [Source: Post Star]

My Bro in Law owns one of these and they are great! Has his customized to look like a Harley with favorite team colors. I don't think you can go fast enough on one of these to hurt anybody tho, so the guy should get off.
ErskineJun 5th 2008 11:21PM
I think that if the guy was drinking That he should have been arrested because he was a Hazard to other people on the street and side walks.
JDJun 5th 2008 11:25PM
Please don't the police have better things to do.
stnsmokJun 6th 2008 1:15AM
I feel much safer knowing that the police are as alert as they are. Maybe next they will find one of those make believe terrorist, or an illegal immigrant. If it would have been an illegal getting busted, then the cop would have been jailed.
JoeJun 6th 2008 12:07AM
Come on! It's a control thing. Control everybody under whatever
conditions (excuses) they can.

Its amazing to me the absolute lack of faith that many people have in the police force these days. More than likely these are the same people who leave thier house 20 minutes late for an apointment that they really dont want to go to or a job that they hate, and speed down the highways like a bunch of idiots. Then when the police stop them they act like they are being singled out. Well, you are. You singled yourself out when you passed that bus full of kids in a no passing zone at 50 mph. You singled yourself out by flying down the interstate at 90. If you actually obeyed the rules of the road then you wouldnt have a problem.
The story in question is one that many of you missed the point to. The state that this happened in has specific rules about what constitutes a motor vehicle. The guy that got arrested failed to check on these regulations, or did and decided that "it couldnt happen to me."
Police are constantly put down for these stupid stories like this. What about the officer that pulled kids from a burning building. What about the officer that birthed a child in the back seat of their cruiser because the lady in question couldnt make it to the hospital on time. But I see that you, like many of the sheep un this country, beleive what the media tell you, and you are trapped in an endless circle of idiocy and bad news. I firmly beleive that if the media covered more of the good news about police then the masses veiw of police would be different. If your got as much crap as these people do when you were at your job you would quit. Just remember that if you ever have to call in that your car was stolen, or your house broken into. Its these same "taxpayer leeches" that are going to come to your rescue.

Actually, I just got pulled over for speeding this morning, yes it was my fault I was speeding, and yes it pissed me off. But my complaint is this, five minutes after the three cops at the speed trap gave me a speeding ticket, a jerk on his cell phone cut the car in front of me off and almost cuased a five car pile up. Where were the cops then? Sitting back at the speed trap waiting to collect our money for going ten mph over the speed limit. The traffic cops should really be looking for the irresponsible reckless drivers that cause accidents, not the people who can drive (I've been driving for 15 years now and have never been in an accident or caused someone else to be in an accident, I keep my attention on the road, and always have control of my vehicle) who just happen to be going faster than the randomly assigned posted speed limit. And both times I've had property destroyed or stolen and I've called the police, they just took a report over the phone, no one ever came out to my home, no on ever investigated the crime, no one ever caught the jerks who decided it was OK to steal from a single mom and her child. So, no, I do not have any faith in our police force or justice system. Show me a cop who pulled someone out of a burning building and I'll pat them on the back, but that is a one time good deed that anyone passing by on the street could have done, not a job duty or requirement. Cops are no more noble or worthy of respect then the homeless guy on the corner, but since the cops think they are better then the rest of us they abuse the little bit of power they do have causing even more disrespect. If they spent their time protecting the citizens from crime as opposed to collecting money for the state (and don't even get me started on how many times they call my house asking for donations for their retirement fund!) maybe they'd be more respected and respectable.

So now will they start arresting the senoir citizens that drive their scooters around on the sidewalk running into everyone with wreckless driving?

This guy is putting lives in danger how? This is the biggest load of bull I've ever read.
Johnny ThompsonJun 6th 2008 4:34AM
I am a retired cop and had much better things to do than arrest a guy for riding a damn ice chest. Must be a podunk town and a podunk cop that arrested the guy.
