Don't try this tomorrow, guys...

...you have to be from Baraboo!

A Baraboo man will face a judge next week after he was arrested for his sixth drunken driving offense - this time on a lawnmower. (snip)

(Baraboo Police Lt. Rob) Sinden said Wisconsin law forbids driving any motor vehicle on public roads while intoxicated. This includes all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, he said, in addition to riding lawnmowers. (snip)

'It's definitely a strange event,' said Sinden of the arrest...

(Spring Green police chief Kevin) Wilkins said drivers can't be cited on their own property. However, once they enter a public road on a motorized vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or above, he said they could face charges.
