APPLE VALLEY, Minn. - An Apple Valley man convicted of driving a Zamboni while intoxicated at an ice arena has been sentenced to two years of probation.

Thirty-four-year-old Joel Bruss pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving. Three other charges were dismissed.

Prosecutors say witnesses called police January 30th to report Bruss driving the ice-cleaning machine erratically at Hayes Arena. Police arrived and found the Zamboni stuck halfway off the ice.

Investigators say Bruss submitted to a urine test, which detected a blood-alcohol level four times the legal limit for driving.

Bruss was convicted of driving while intoxicated once in 2002 and twice in 1999.
