Police say a Fargo man was drunk while operating a Zamboni Friday night at a high school hockey game.
Clay Whittlesey of the Fargo Park District says spectators alerted officials at the South Sports Arena that the Zamboni operator, Steven James Anderson, 27, was driving into the boards and appeared impaired.

He was resurfacing the ice for the game between the Davies High School and Williston High School girls' teams.
A Fargo Public Schools employee called the police. Anderson was arrested and booked into the Cass County Jail.
Jim Larson of the Fargo Park District said another Zamboni driver was called but the coaches decided to play on the snowy ice instead.
