The dude who got a DUI on a converted La-Z-Boy was literally sitting on a goldmine and he didn't know it -- now his beloved recliner-mobile is currently fetching more than $43,000 in a police auction ... and he won't see a cent of it.
The bid for Dennis LeRoy's infamous La-Z-Boy-Mobile is currently at $43,100 -- and there's less than 24 hours to go.
Cops in Proctor, MN, made a deal with LeRoy to remove one of the DUI's from his record if they could sell the contraption -- but little did they know LeRoy's franken-chair could be worth as much as a brand new Audi A5.
For the record -- a regular, non-motorized recliner usually goes for around 700 bucks.

How lazy do you gotta be to get a DUI without ever getting off your La-Z-Boy???
A 61-year-old dude named Dennis LeRoy was just sentenced to 180 days in jail after cops say he got wasted at a Minnesota bar last year and tried to drive home on his suped-up piece of living room furniture.
The La-Z-booze-mobile was equipped with a cup-holder, radio, headlight and a National Hot Rod Association sticker. It was powered by a converted lawn-mower.
Cops say on August 31,2008, LeRoy pounded around 8 or 9 beers, left the bar, mounted his chair-mobile -- which is capable of speeds up to 20 MPH -- and crashed into a "real car" on the way back to his home.
LeRoy was given field sobriety tests ... but cops say he "failed everything."
The La-Z-Boy driver can avoid jail time if he completes two years of supervised probation -- which includes completing a chemical dependency program, random testing and 30 days of electronic monitoring.

Two days after posting $100,000 bail for felony DUI and allegedly hitting a skateboarder, '90s actress Lori Petty roamed Santa Monica on Tuesday.
The 45-year-old cropped hair beauty is in a league of her own.

Zach Randolph -- the Los Angeles Clipper who was busted for DUI a few weeks back -- has just dodged a bullet, thanks to the magic of his lawyer, Blair Berk.
Randolph has just been charged with one count of misdemeanor reckless driving -- not DUI. And we thought only Lakers caught breaks like that.
Zach was pulled over on April 6 while driving on the 405 in L.A., after CHP officers spotted his Rolls Royce weaving in and out of his lane.
We're told Randolph failed his field test -- but he obviously scored in picking the right lawyer.
UPDATE: Zach, who did not show up for court in L.A. today, just pled not guilty to reckless driving.
His lawyer, Blair Berk, said "The only reason Zach Randolph was not charged with a DUI was that he did not commit a DUI -- no magic, just facts."

Andrew Gallo, the man behind the wheel of the van that killed Nick Adenhart and two others, has been charged with three counts of murder.
He faces a maximum sentence of 55 years to life.
In addition to murder charges, Gallo is charged with driving under the influence and causing bodily injury, driving with a blood alcohol level above .08% and causing bodily injury, and fleeing the scene.
The Orange County D.A. says Gallo's blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.
Gallo was driving on a suspended license because of a prior DUI. He fled the scene and was eventually arrested.

UPDATE: The first mugshot of Andrew Gallo on the left is from an '06 arrest for being drunk in public. We also got our hands on court documents from his DUI, which was also in '06, in which Gallo wrote this haunting sentence:
"I understand that if I continue to drink and drive it may result in death or serious bodily injury to another person."
UPDATE: The middle pic of Gallo is his bloody mugshot from a March '07 arrest for drunk and disorderly conduct.
We've just obtained a photo of Andrew Gallo, who was driving the van that caused the accident that killed Nick Adenhart and two others.
Cops believe Gallo was driving under the influence and on a suspended license because of a prior DUI. He fled the scene and was arrested. Gallo could be booked on murder charges, along with vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run and felony DUI.
