Ever since 62-year-old Dennis Anderson pleaded guilty to a drunk driving offense that occurred in a motorized lounge chair, the chair itself has been shrouded in controversy.

Now, a reporter from the Journal Sentinel in Wisconsin points out the chair is stuck at the police office, and the person who agreed to buy it has backed down. The chair was originally listed on eBay, with prices soaring as high as $40,000. This was when it was called a "motorized La-Z-Boy." However, La-Z-Boy objected to this name, saying the chair was not of their making at all.

eBay was forced to pull and re-list the chair. Once the chair was relisted, the highest bid it achieved was about $11,000, from a computer executive in California. This man, though, has rescinded his offer, saying he no longer wants the item under its new classification. Now, the police department has been attempting to get another sale.

Anderson has said the department should not profit off the vehicle, which was mandated to be forfeited in the arrest and trial. He is not the original creator of the chair either, as has come out of further reports; he purchased the chair from another man. Regardless, Anderson is trying to profit off his famous arrest.  Anderson has been selling autographed photos of himself on eBay. He also sold the cushion from the chair for around $40.

The interest in the chair and its high ticket price have largely blown over since the initial "DWI chair" hype. Now, the police department has a motorized recliner, an angry furniture store, a disappointed potential client (and a missed opportunity to sell the item when it was hot) to deal with.
