Man arrested for mowing while drinking

WILLARD, Mo. -- A 58-year-old man accused of drinking while driving a lawn mower has been charged with assaulting a southwest Missouri law enforcement officer.

The Springfield News Leader reported that the misdemeanor charge was filed this past week against Richard A. Roller of Willard.

Roller is accused of assaulting another officer during the ensuing investigation.
