One New York man's Memorial Day fun ended when police pulled him over while he was driving his motorized cooler.

Leslie J. "Bomber" Marr, 57, was charged with driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle after the police saw him swerving on the street and driving on the sidewalk in his "Cruzin Cooler," Whitehall Police Chief Richard LaChapelle told the Post Star newspaper.

Under New York state law, driving any motorized vehicle must be done without alcohol, including motorized coolers. In various states, other modes of transportation in which driving is prohibited while intoxicated include lawnmowers, boats, bicycles, golf carts, wheelchairs and horses.

7. They should make an exemption for those.

The whole point of them is mobility+intoxication

3. Driving on the sidewalk??? Where the fuck else would you drive it...

Why do I have the unnerving feeling that Leslie J. "Bomber" Marr, 57 was topless.

6. what surprises me more though.....

is learning from the article that "driving" in a wheelchair while intoxicated is also illegal. That doesn't seem very fair at all.

11. Down here bikes and unmotorized worked as well.... we had a cop who

would go into the redneck dives down here and basically arrest on a bike or in a wheelchair for DUI right at the bar. Helped make quota and it is low hanging fruit.

4. Now there's a good use of the public

prosecutor's dollars.

5. Yeah, it's not like he could've hurt himself

or anyone else, tooling around drunk on the street and sidewalk.

8. Hey! I just entered a raffle to win one of those at my local Hooters!

I figure I'd drive it to work with gas prices being what they are...
