This man is not a relative...and even if he was, I wouldn't confess to it.


Martinsburg, West Virginia:

A man accused of drunken driving tried to outrun the police but his vehicle wasn't up to the task.

Michael Ginevan of Bunker Hill was driving a riding lawnmower on Runnymeade Road about a mile from his home when a Berkeley County sheriff's deputy attempted to pull him over. Ginevan, 39, allegedly sped away and Deputy J.H. Jenkins stopped his cruiser and gave chase on foot, according to magistrate court records.

Jenkins caught up to the lawnmower after a short chase but Ginevan allegedly wouldn't stop so the deputy pulled him off the machine. Ginevan refused to take a field sobriety test and was arrested. Jenkins then found a case of beer strapped to the lawnmower's front, court records show.

Ginevan was charged with fleeing while driving under the influence and obstructing an officer. He was being held Tuesday at the Eastern Regional Jail on $7,500 bond.

A person who answered the phone at the jail did not know whether Ginevan had hired an attorney. There was no telephone listing for Ginevan in the Bunker Hill area.

LOL... Berkeley County is the next county over from where I used to live. A lot of rich people who commute to DC live there, plus probably WV's largest concentrations of ethnicities besides white.

EDIT: Still plenty of rednecks though. Just not as much as where my mom lives. And way less hippies too.

Good. If caught in a nice area, they should be burned alive.

:p I didn't say it was a nice area. It has some nice parts. It's more suburban than rural, whereas most of WV is more rural with a few urban areas and very few suburbs.

Yes, being that they're now tainted. Hippie residue can ruin whole states.
