Kentucky Man Arrested For DUI While Riding A Horse

[Blue_Tires]

Lexington, Kentucky. Home to basketball, bluegrass, bourbon, and—strangely—the best Cuban sandwich I've ever eaten. It's also home to horses, some of which are people's modes of transportation. When a man found himself running afoul of Johnny Law while atop his steed, it seems that makes it a story worthy of leading off the broadcast, as we see here from Lexington's WKYT in one of the more extraordinary fullscreens I've ever come across.

You know what, I can't deny you the pleasure of seeing the whole story. Here it is in its entirety, and remember that with all the crazy shit happening around the world, this was deemed to be the most important thing for viewers to know last night.

1. At least in PA, any mode of transportation can get you a DUI - horse, bike, lawn tractor, scooter,..

I don't think it's all that uncommon, but I guess it was the most important thing going on that night. I saw a clip (cop dash cam) of a guy on a lawn tractor with a train (literally) of grocery carts behind it all filled with cases of beer. If I remember correctly, he was even drinking one while he cruised down the road at a whopping 10 mph or something. It took a while for him to pull over so they eventually pulled out and blocked his path. He was on his way back to a party where they were running out of beer.

7. If you have a friend strap you across the saddle, head on one side and feet on the other,

you should be ok provided the horse knows the way home.
