DULUTH, Minn. (October 30, 2009)--A motorized La-Z-Boy that belonged to a Minnesota man who pleaded guilty to driving it drunk is going up for auction, but police say interested bidders need to keep it off the streets.
The chair, which is powered by a lawnmower engine, comes equipped with a stereo, cup holders and lights.
Police in Proctor, Minn., are putting the seized chair up for auction on eBay.
Proceeds from the sale go to the police, the state and a prosecuting attorney, but Chief Walter Wobig cautions that the chair isn't "street legal," so any buyer should stick to the living room or at most a parade.
The former owner, Dennis LeRoy Anderson, pleaded guilty this month to operating the chair while intoxicated.
His family is auctioning on eBay an autographed photo of him riding the La-Z-Boy to help with his fees.
