Police knew something wasn’t quite right after they spotted a man driving a piece of construction lift equipment down a street at 3 a.m. on Thursday.

So far, so good. Nice work Mountlake Terrace P.D. A guy driving a lift, down a street at 3:00 in the morning; something ain’t right.

The man, who apparently had been drinking,…

Didn’t see that coming.

…was in the lift bucket of the Genie Boom…

Just to put this in perspective;

…with an unopened six-pack of beer and a bag of beef jerky when police pulled the vehicle over.

Nice. A guy’s going to get hungry and it makes sense to be prepared because once you’re in the bucket, you don’t want to stop until the job is done.

He was clocked at 2 mph.

That sounds a little screwy there. These guys actually clocked him? Can they produce a read out in court?

At first the 29-year old man told police he was just going to the store. But when they asked him why he was in the bucket on the lift, he said he was delivering the $20,000 piece of construction equipment on a dare from a stranger he met on Craigslist, according to a police report.

Hunh!!??

See, if you’re caught drunk driving a bucket lift, at 3 a.m., on the streets, with beer in your possession, and beef jerky; why not just say, “O.K. you got me”. “Throw the book at me”. Don’t bust out with, “I was going to the store”. I mean, that’s really more than enough right there.

But, Craigslist! Are you kidding me, Craigslist! Some guy I met on Craigslist dared me to do it! Man, even if that’s true, if there is a chance in hell that’s true, you got to keep that to yourself.
