NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: An Uncool Ride

 

Whitehall, NY, police pulled over Leslie J. "Bomber" Marr, 57, and charged him with driving while intoxicated when he was spotted on Memorial Day swerving and driving on the sidewalk on a four-wheeled, motorized cooler known as a “Cruzin Cooler,” reports The Post-Star (Glens Falls, NY):  

 

Washington County District Attorney Kevin Kortright said the scooter is considered a motor vehicle under state law.

The company's Web site boasts the vehicles can travel up to 13 mph and pull up to 400 pounds. Price-wise, they begin at about $300.

They are legal in New York, according to the company's Web site

 

The electricity-powered Cruzin Cooler has handlebars, and the driver sits on the lid. When he was arrested, Marr’s cooler allegedly contained 14 beers.

 

Marr, who was “charged with misdemeanor counts of DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle” and “cited for operating an uninsured motor vehicle,” could face felony charges because of prior drunken driving convictions, according to The Post-Star.
