From the Dakota Scout, it appears that State Senator Mark Lapka is being accused of drunk farming after driving his combine into signs and a tree:
State Sen. Mark Lapka faces a drunken driving charge after allegedly driving a combine tractor under the influence late Tuesday in McPherson County.
While McPherson County Sheriff David Ackerman was not available when contacted by The Dakota Scout Thursday morning, the McPherson County State’s Attorney’s Office confirmed the Leola farmer and first-term legislator has been charged.
A video obtained by The Dakota Scout, which multiple sources confirmed was connected to the incident, appears to show a combine entangled in a tree after striking roadside stop signs and a power pole.
That’s kind of a big expensive piece of equipment to be booze-cruising with.
There must be something in the water, as the word out west is that everyone’s least favorite lobbyist for Young Americans for Liberty, Anthony Mirzayants, is also facing charges of driving under the influence.
Except it wasn’t on a combine. Just an arrest for a plain jane DUI in Lawrence County.
Sounds like somebody needs a good cane poking.
McCrazy County just doesn’t disappoint!
Another case of do as I say, not as I do.
Another legislator who after getting elected got what benefitted his interests and then pulled up the ladder.
Even better if they didn’t drink (provided by lobbyists) and legislate
Resign
Maybe do but Gary Cammack didn’t resign for his DUI charge
I’m sure his district mate Gosch will try and protect him as he did his buddy AG Ravsburg.
Why is it the far right nuts doing these things?
Well at least he didn’t leave a woman to die like old Teddy Kennedy!

The Biolota News Network will get after him next.
I don’t care who you are that’s funny!

All his property rights cult members are all ‘oh forgive him he made one little mistake’ meanwhile had this been a legislator they don’t like they’d be out with pitchforks and bibles demanding heads. The hypocrisy is ridiculous
Young Americans for Liberty has lobbyists? Huh. What for?
