Whilst driving a Zamboni during a high school hockey game,
Steven James Anderson, age 27, was nearly four times above the
legal limit for driving a motor vehicle. Since Anderson was driving
the vehicle while intoxicated, he has since been charged with a
DUI.
Steven Anderson was sentenced to nine days in jail, a chemical
dependency evaluation, and he must now pay a $1500 fine and
participate in the state's 24/7 sobriety program.
Steven Anderson was driving the Zamboni during a girls hockey
game in Fargo, and was allegedly driving erratically and crashed
into the boards multiple times.
After several witnesses complained about his erratic driving,
the police came and took him off the ice. Anderson's defense
attorney, Lindsey Haugen, stated to CBC News that the law
was unclear with whether a Zamboni is considered a vehicle in North
Dakota, but the municipal court Judge Stephen Dawson says that
state law is written to include vehicles such as a Zamboni.
