Kile Wygle Gets DUI On Motorized Bar Stool

NEWARK, Ohio — Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool. Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.

Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries. Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.

Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.

He should have been wearing a seatbelt.

Perhaps he could be the next the CEO at GM. If he made stool in different colors, I'm sure it would sell better than the Hummer H2 at 13 mpg.

Give the guy a break. He was trying to get away from the Bobcat.

The world would be a much better place if there were more news like this every day....

I'm no expert, but 38 mph seems a little too fast for a bar stool - drunk or sober.

That's only because you didn't notice the added tip-over protection he added to the back - spring supported!

lol

The stool only got 2 mi. to a six-pack, worse than a stretch limo.

[nuff said]

OK--between the story and your post--I'm gonna be chuckling all day!

I live in East TN, this happens a lot with horses and tractors around here.

I lived in East Tennessee, outside Kingsport, to be exact. I had patients who got hurt in some of the most ludicrous ways, while drunk in a dry county. They went to the next county to get the beer and booze.

Funny, I'm in Rogersville. It's even worse in Sneedville

Reminds me of when country music great Tammy Wynette hid all the car keys so her husband, George Jones, couldn't go out drinking. Soon enough, he was discovered driving down the highway on the lawn mower, heading for the bar.

I had a client who got his 8th DWI while riding a bicycle. He got time for it.

Some of my friends in Florida were planning to have the 2009 Cocoa Beach "Bikes and Bar-A-Thon" next Saturday night. It was to have been a large group "pub crawl" on bicycles. When they applied for a permit, the Chief of Police and the Mayor's office instantly shot the idea down. Killjoys!
