DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Police charged an eastern Iowa man with drunken driving after stopping him outside a Dubuque bar, where he was in a truck beside a small zebra and parrot.

Officers arrested 56-year-old Jerald Reiter on Sunday night in the parking lot of the Dog House bar. Officers gave him a field sobriety test and charged him with drunken driving.

Reiter, of Cascade, disputes the arrest, saying he was about to let a passenger begin driving.

1. You know this would have been funny if you hadn't forgotten the parrot!

I think it was a rare Norweigian Blue!

2. The Zebra was smart to have a designated driver

but dumb to go out drinking with him.
