Joel Keith Bruss, a 34-year-old Zamboni driver was arrested following a series of phone calls to 911 to report that “the guy driving the Zamboni” was being erratic and seemed drunk. Upon closer inspection by the police, turns out, he (allegedly of course) was! Onlookers saw him run around 4 times in a circle without any water on, and a normal 10 minute job was taking over 25 minutes. After a field sobriety test, which he failed, he was taken in for the standard lab test, results have been submitted to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for analysis and have not yet been released but allegedly the man could barely stand on his feet and smelled of alcohol.
Bruss has a history of DWI dating back to 1999 and 2002, he also has another minor drinking incident reported. The story doesn’t state if the ice was properly resurfaced, but I once knew a Czech mechanic that was much more efficient after a few glasses of his homemade wine, furthermore famed writer Ernest Hemingway was supposedly quoted as recommending to “write drunk, and revise sober.” I think I’ll go revise…
