Erratic driving of front-end loader leads to DUI arrest
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A 35-year-old Alaska man suspected of weaving through traffic while driving a front-end loader has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
Daniel Hughett also is charged with consuming alcohol in violation of a previous release from custody.
A caller told Anchorage police Tuesday night that an intoxicated man nearly hit a convenience store as he parked a front-end loader.
Police received a second call saying the driver was back on the road, swerving in and out of lanes and bouncing off the curb.
