Pennsylvania State Police say a man was drunk when he hopped on a lawn tractor and drove it to buy more beer. Police said 63-year-old Ford Earl Broome, of Export, was stopped by a state trooper at about 8 p.m. on Sept. 6. The trooper said he stopped Broome near a tavern, and that Broome smelled of alcohol and appeared to be drunk. Police said Broome denied drinking, but then acknowledged he "drank a little" before driving the tractor to a bar to buy more beer.

Police said Broome's blood-alcohol content was about double the state's legal limit for drivers.

Broome did not immediately return a message left at his house Friday. His preliminary hearing is Dec. 14.
