Driving (A Bulldozer) While Intoxicated

JUNE 30--Meet Robert Tite. In an apparent drunk driving first, the Ohio man is facing criminal charges for allegedly piloting a bulldozer while intoxicated. Tite, 57, was nabbed last Friday after he drove the heavy machinery onto a neighbor's property and uprooted trees and dug up a swath of lawn. Tite, pictured in the mug shot at left, was arrested by Huron County Sheriff's Office deputies and charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, criminal damage, and resisting arrest. Cops responded to the crime scene after the neighbor called 911 to report, 'Bob Tite was driving a bull dozer through his yard,' according to a sheriff's report. After posting $18,000 bond, Tite was released Saturday from jail, and is scheduled for a July 21 court hearing. Tite's bulldozer joins a motorized bar stool, a Zamboni, and a lawnmower as among the more unique vehicles allegedly driven by a plastered motorist. (3 pages)
