A Lafourche Parish man was arrested on a DWI charge early Saturday (May 19), after deputies saw him swerving into and out of traffic on a riding lawnmower, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office. Brian Cheramie, 59, admitted to drinking several beers before riding the lawnmower along La. 3162 in his hometown of Cut Off in South Lafourche, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Deputies noticed Cheramie about 12:15 a.m. Saturday, as he was driving the lawnmower along the shoulder of the highway--and swerved into the westbound lane of traffic and then back onto the shoulder.
