Man Notches 7th DUI, This One on Lawn Mower
It was Lonnie Michael Haney’s seventh drunken driving conviction that got him sent to prison. It was on a lawn mower.
Anderson County District Attorney Dave Clark told The Knoxville News Sentinel the court sent Haney “back to ‘Go,’” a reference to the board game Monopoly.
In a plea bargain Monday, the 48-year-old Haney pleaded guilty in exchange for a two-year sentence and $3,000 in fines.
An Anderson County deputy, who knew Haney’s driving license had been suspended, saw him on a John Deere riding mower on the shoulder of a road in Oak Ridge in August 2010. The deputy said Haney’s speech was slurred, his eyes bloodshot and he didn’t do well in field sobriety tests.
