DULUTH, Minnesota — The motorized chair belonging to a man arrested for driving it into a parked car last year while drunk has sold for $10,099.99.

Proctor Police Chief Walter Wobig didn't immediately know the winning bidder's name or hometown after it was sold at a eBay auction Thursday, according to the Duluth News Tribune.

Wobig says international media attention helped fuel the bidding.

The chair was built by Dennis LeRoy Anderson. He had pleaded guilty to driving the motorized chair with a blood-alcohol level nearly four times the legal limit.

Anderson says he expected the chair would fetch only $2,000 to $3,000.

The recliner is powered by a lawnmower engine. It comes equipped with a stereo, cup holders and lights.
