La-Z-Boy-Mobile Lost in Tragic Custody Battle

Posted Oct 30th 2009 5:00AM by TMZ Staff

Like a babe being ripped from the arms of its loving mother, the man who got a DUI on a converted La-Z-Boy is now being separated from his cherished creation.

La-Z-Boy-Mobile Lost in Tragic Custody Battle

Dennis LeRoy's La-Z-Boy-Mobile is being sold out from under him on eBay by cops in Proctor, Minnesota -- a punishment for LeRoy getting his second DUI while riding the incredible contraption last year.

But all is not lost ... in exchange for removing the chair from the possession of its drunken master, LeRoy will get one of the DUIs taken off his record.

Somewhere, LeRoy is probably listening to "There's a Tear in My Beer" by Hank Williams.

More La-Z-Boy

5. A police auction?? Can't wait to put some fake bids on that one. I'm tipping the police will be very excited with their final price of over $1,000,000

11. Can they confiscate and sell your property IN AMERICA????

Wonder if this would happen with a CELEBRITY? I don't recall any of their cars or SUV's being sold.

12. is it me or does it seem sort of I don't know, ILLEGAL for them to confiscate his property and then sell it on ebay for a progit then take one of his DUIs away?

Posted at 8:46AM on Oct 30th 2009 by Gregory

13. It's all right. After all, it is in Minnesota, home of democrat Franken and the democrat acorn election fraud winners. However, it still sounds illegal to me. If it were ANYONE other than attorney general HOLDER, likely there would be some federal intervention in this confiscation and sale of private property.
Number 5 can go suck an acorn egg.....raw and get salmonella I hope, for the stupid unrelated comment

14. Only the court can confiscate a vehicle, and the owner has a right to appeal the decision.

15. The very definition of a high functioning alcoholic. Nice work !
