Drunk Has to Be Hauled Away in Front Loader Bucket

A Maryland man was so drunk after driving into a central Pennsylvania field that a farmer had to carry the handcuffed suspect out in the bucket of his tractor. Police said the 36-year-old had to be pulled to safety after he was nearly run over by his own truck.

The man was driving through fields Sunday night fleeing police before nearly hitting a herd of cows about 30 miles south of Harrisburg.

Bean said Hott surrendered and collapsed behind his truck, which started to drift back toward him. An officer dragged him out of the way but a local farmer had to be enlisted to tote him out of the field in the bucket of a front loader.

The Waynesboro, Pa. Record Herald reports the man was in jail but did not reporrt what his bail amount might be.
