VERMILION, Ohio — A northern Ohio man is accused of operating a lawnmower while drunk.

The Vermilion man was arrested Friday night as he drove the mower on a sidewalk. Police say he drove the mower to a store about a mile from his home and was arrested on his way back. The lawn mower was towed.

Police say a breath test showed that his blood alcohol level was .144 percent, which is over the legal limit of .08 percent.

Police say it was the man's third drunken-driving-related arrest in six months.
