Amish Teen Charged With Driving Horse While Intoxicated

A teenager was formally charged with multiple counts of driving under the influence, including driving his horse-drawn buggy while intoxicated.

Robert Miller, 18, a Pennsylvania Amish teenager from the home of everyone’s favorite groundhog — Punxsutawney — was originally pulled over for the infraction July 8 in Canoe Township, and was officially charged Wednesday, The Daily Mail reported Thursday.

Miller was also charged with a second count of “being incapable of safely operating a vehicle while under the influence,” careless driving, underage possession of alcohol, and a violation of the open container in a vehicle law, Corporal Adam Reed, Coordinator of the Public Information Office for the Pennsylvania State Police, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Miller’s four passengers, Andrew Coblentz and Raymond Kurtz, both 20 year olds, William Byler, 18, and an unnamed 16 year-old, were also charged with underage drinking.

Was the horse intoxicated?

I would imagine that the cruelest part of this is when the cops told the guy that he could make one phone call to his parents.

It's right to charge them a buggy can cause an accident if improperly driven same as a car can, you are after all on the same roads.

Man, that is great to hear that those guys are normal. I don't always drink beer while driving a horse-drawn buggy, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis, Stay thirsty my friends.
