Motorized recliner incident
2009 DUI case involving a motorized recliner
In 2009, Dennis LeRoy Anderson of Proctor, Minnesota, received widespread media attention for being arrested in a DUI case involving a motorized recliner.[1][2] Riding a recliner which he had earlier fitted with a lawnmower engine, he crashed into a car after leaving a local bar, where he had consumed a number of beers. He was convicted and the chair was confiscated by the police, who auctioned it off on Do-Bid.com for $3,700. Though widely reported to be a La-Z-Boy, the chair was unbranded.[3]
