Man arrested for drunken driving...on a Zamboni.



A North Dakota man was arrested for driving drunk — on a Zamboni. You betcha!

An out-of-control Zamboni crashed into the boards at a high school girls' ice hockey game Friday night in Fargo and police were called after the first period when it appeared the ice resurfacer's driver was drunk.

Steven Anderson, 27, was arrested at South Sports Arena at 8:15 p.m. and charged with driving under the influence at Cass County Jail, the Grand Forks Herald reported.

Anderson, a part-time employee at the Fargo Park District for six years, was promptly fired, according to reports.

it's going to be ok, Jim.

"There is just a zero tolerance at the Fargo Parks District for something like this and this is unprecedented," Jim Larson, director of finance and human resources for the Fargo Park District, told WDAY. "I've been in this position for 25 years. I've never heard of this before happening. Obviously I've heard it with bus drivers and school systems and things like that, that this has happened, but we've never had anything like this."
