A New Jersey man took getting “plowed” to new heights when he got drunk and tried to commute home on a bulldozer — slamming into just about everything that crossed his path, police sources said.
Christopher Russell, 30, claimed he was cold, so he swiped the ride and tried to drive it from West Hudson Park in Harrison to Newark at around 9 p.m. on Friday, the New Jersey Journal reported.
Instead, he flattened a tree, three benches, and a water fountain — before and slamming into a parked car, police sources said.
Cops, who received several calls about the rogue bulldozer, found Russel climbing out of it in the middle of Davis Lane near Cross Street, the sources said.
He had left the keys in the bulldozer.
He also tore up grass, a bridge parapet and left a zig-zag of tractor tracks in the park, the sources said.
“He said he was cold and was trying to ride it home to the Ironbound section of Newark,” Harrison Police Capt. Mike Green said.
Russell was charged with a DWI, criminal mischief, leaving the scene of an accident and theft.
His bail was set at $ 20,000.
