The airplane was towed "During its tow from the north side the tug driver request to stop for a minute but the reason for his request is unknown. After about a minute he continued to the grass."
Rumor on the interwebs is that the tug driver had a medical. Makes sense in looking at the picture. I am pretty sure it was under tow.

Better read the note first, and avoid yourself the embarrassment next time.
Read the article you dolt, the photo shows the tug in the mud as well! The crew was probably at the gate. And if not, it's hard to steer with nothing operating and the nose gear on a tug.
Cansojr, once again slammed for failing to read before he posts!!
In his defense, the article didn't talk about it being under tow when it was originally published. HOWEVER, I posted about the tug driver having a medical situation that caused it before his comment.
