Cops Called After Another Employee Noticed Driver Speeding

MORRISTOWN (AP) You can't drive with alcohol in your system, even if the vehicle is a four-ton ice-cleaning machine at a skating rink.

Zamboni operator John Peragallo was charged with drunken driving after a fellow employee at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown called police and reported that the machine was speeding and nearly crashed into the boards.

Police arrived after Peragallo had parked the machine after grooming the ice during a break in a public skating session.

Police said Peragallo's blood alcohol level was 0.12 percent. Levels of 0.08 percent and above are considered legally drunk.

Zamboni privileges were revoked for Peragallo, 63, of Randolph, who has worked for the Morris County park system since 1994.

Also, we just got issued a Torando Watch, fun evening ahead...

We used to have an old guy in our neighborhood that drove his lawnmower alongside the road to get to the convenience store. He did this because he lost his license, DUI. About 6 months later, the cops impounded his lawnmower. He got a DUI on his mower!! Some people NEVER learn!

I don't know. If I was a professional zamboni driver, I think I'd have a drinking problem too. ;)
