It was only across the street

On May 28 2007, when Peggy Sue Phillips, 48, decided to check her account balance at First Security Bank, she didn't use the internet or the phone. She instead, decided to drive there. This seemed like a good plan until she was involved in an accident.

Instead of taking the family car there, she chose to drive a lawn mower across Highway 62 in Mountain Home Ak after dark and without lights. Her drive ended quickly when she was hit by another car which then hit a curb damaging a tire and rim. No one was injured in the accident but responding police officer Bryan Corbett suspected that Phillips was "impaired."

"The suspect's speech was slurred and her balance was unstable," he wrote in his report.

Phillips passed a blood-alcohol content test at the station but she didn't pass the search. Numerous narcotic medications she had been taking along with a small amount of marijuana with rolling papers were found on her person. She was jailed and faces charges that include, driving with a suspended or revoked license, driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor charge of possession of controlled substances, possession of an intrument of crime and lastly, careless driving.

I don't think the Lawn Ranger will help her this time.
