With the beautiful weather we have this weekend, and as we prepare to spring forward by setting our clocks ahead Sun. morning at 2am, this guy may have pushed the feeling of spring fever to the limit. State Police report they arrested 28-year-old George Barkley of Bath after they caught him riding a stolen lawn mower while allegedly drunk. Yes, drunk on a moving mower. State Police received a report to be on the lookout for a stolen Craftsman lawn mower and spotted Mr. Barkley riding it on Liberty St. in Bath. Since cop cars have much bigger engines than what you use to cut your lawn, there was no chase involved. After stopping the roving mower, Barkley failed a DWI test with a BAC of .10 and was charged. Moral of this story from the Southern Tier, even though we all have a touch of spring fever this wknd., don't push it. And don't wheel out the mower yet, especially if it's not yours.
