Finally a winner for the motorized lounge chair

PROCTOR, Minn. (AP) - April 22, 2010

The chair was seized in a Minnesota drunken driving case.

It's been put up for auction three times, but the two previous sales fell through.

Now, the chair has been auctioned off again, for a winning bid of $3,700.

Auction manager Bart Kyte says 15 people bid on Do-Bid.com.

The buyer hasn't been named.

The recliner is powered by a lawnmower engine and has cup holders and a stereo.

Proceeds go to the Proctor Police Department, which seized the chair after the owner crashed into a parked car.

The man pleaded guilty to drunken driving.
