Minn.'s 'DWI chair' sells for more than $10,000

Friday, November 06, 2009 1:26:04 PM

FILE - In this Monday, Oct. 20, 2009 file photo, a motorized chair driven by Dennis Anderson of Proctor was operating when he hit a parked vehicle in August of 2008. Proctor's police chief fears the city will lose a big chunk of revenue after it was forced to repost the sale of the infamous motorized recliner on eBay. The police department recently confiscated the customized lounge chair after its owner was suspected of driving it while drunk and smashing it into a parked vehicle. Police auctioned the chair under the La-Z-Boy brand and received eBay bids topping $43,000 after news of the drunken driving arrest circulated.  (AP Photo/Proctor Police Department via Duluth News Trubune, File)DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Operating a motorized recliner while drunk apparently drives up the chair's value. Police in northern Minnesota listed the "DWI chair" on eBay after the owner was arrested for driving it into a parked car last year. It sold Thursday for $10,099.99.

Proctor police Chief Walter Wobig didn't immediately know the winning bidder's name or hometown. He said international media attention helped fuel the bidding.

The chair was built by Dennis LeRoy Anderson. He had pleaded guilty to driving the motorized chair with a blood-alcohol level nearly four times the legal limit.
