\nA Scottsville man was arrested after police say he was under the influence and took his father\u2019s tractor without permission Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The father called dispatch saying his son, 40-year-old Anthony Minix, had been drinking for several days.<\/p>\n
Allen County Deputies were dispatched to the residence around 8 p.m. and located Minix driving the tractor without any lights on Old Hartsville Road.<\/p>\n
