WORLAND, Wyo. - A northwestern Wyoming man received a citation for letting his horse wander in Worland, but not before he complained to town law enforcement officials about the absence of a hitching post in front of the local saloon.
William Schellinger was cited by Washakie County law enforcement officers for allowing his horse to run at large in this city along the Big Horn River.
Schellinger was apparently in a bar early Sunday when his horse wandered away, prompting police to follow it to make sure it didn't cause an accident with a car.
After being confronted by officers, Schellinger contended the city didn't have any hitching posts and told them they should spend their time arresting real criminals, not bothering cowboys with wayward horses

He's right about how they should be looking for real criminals. Then again this is 2009 and even in my rural Georgia town there are no hitching posts. He needs to get with the program.

Maybe he should move to Lancaster county PA. Lotsa places to tie up, but none that are bars!

DULUTH, Minn. – A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk. A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.
Prosecutors say Anderson's blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured.
Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders.
Sixth Judicial District Judge Heather Sweetland stayed 180 days of jail time Monday and ordered two years of probation for Anderson. His attorney, David Keegan, did not immediately return a call for comment.

The police auction of a souped-up motorized recliner, confiscated because the owner was drunk, crashed Monday.
The bust and subsequent auction had attracted national media attention and drove eBay bidding for the chair past $40,000. But now the bidding will have to start all over again.
The Proctor, Minn., Police Department was 11 hours shy of ending its five-day auction on eBay when its ad was suddenly yanked off the site, apparently because it was referred to as a La-Z-Boy chair, and it's not. And that didn't sit with the folks at La-Z-Boy who faxed a complaint to the police chief about the use of the trademarked name and apparently filed a complaint with eBay.
