Dominic Andrew Bjerke, of Leroy, Minnesota, has been charged with first offense operating while intoxicated, third-degree burglary, third-degree theft and criminal mischief as a Class C felony.

According to the Mitchell County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to a residence south of McIntire around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday after receiving a complaint that a combine had driven through several yards, striking numerous vehicles and a garage.

Deputies say they found the combine down the road and identified Bjerke as the driver.

We can safely shorten that to Jerk I think.

When I was young, I got drunk and wrestled a combine harvester to the ground and pinned it in 5. At least that’s the way Earl tells it.

Not wise.
A replacement can easily run $300,000.

The story answers the question: "What's the difference between
a drunk adult and a 12-year-old Okie?"

One can safely operate a combine and harvest wheat efficiently...
without damaging property and getting a DUI!!!
