New Brunswick men arrested after going through McDonald’s drive-thru on a sofa

MIRAMICHI, N.B.—Two New Brunswick men have been arrested after allegedly going through a McDonald’s drive-thru on a couch.

Miramichi police say an officer spotted the couch, being towed behind an ATV, at 3:19 a.m. Thursday in the drive-thru.

Cpl. Lorri McEachern says the driver of the four wheeler took off after the officer turned on the lights atop his cruiser, stranding the two “intoxicated” men outside the restaurant.

She says the driver raced through the parking lot, across the highway and onto the frozen Miramichi River, still towing the couch through much of his escape.

Two local men, aged 28 and 39, will face yet-to-be-determined charges.

McEachern says it is illegal to tow a couch through a drive-thru, but the two men were wearing helmets.

I'd love to see the specific law that states this!  Someone was being really thorough when they wrote that one!

There's a law that specifically prohibits this?!? Does this happen that often in New Brunswick?

 

Still, at least they were showing some good sense by wearing helmets!

These were the same geniuses who were being towed on a couch by a truck driven by an intoxicated person who runs from the police?

I see nothing wrong with what they were doing.
