STOCKTON, Minn. – Deputies said a Stockton man, Daniel Vincent Merchlewitz, 57, was too intoxicated to be mowing. He was charged with drunken driving. The deputy had been called to the 8200 block of Main Street about a man on a mower who had run over no-trespass signs into a neighbor’s yard. The deputy asked Merchlewitz to breathe into a blood-alcohol detection device. The reading: 0.11%. Anything north of 0.08% means it’s illegal to drive – even a lawn mower.
