Crankretariat Coming Up Hard On The Outside
I can't decide whether the moral of this story should be "Don't bring a horse to a demolition derby" or "Don't bring a car to a horse race:"
An Alabama woman was arrested for riding a horse while under the influence of a controlled substance and using the animal to ram a police car.
Sylvania police arrested 40-year-old Melissa Byrum York around midnight Sunday. She was charged with seven counts that included DUI, animal cruelty and second-degree assault.
John Seals, the arresting officer, said he had to get back in his car and follow York after she allegedly coaxed the horse into a trot. Seals pulled his car in front of the horse to try to get her to stop. She allegedly rammed the horse into the car and went about 50 more yards and tried to jump off, but York caught her foot in the stirrups.
And the punch line?
Police said they also seized a small amount of marijuana, some crystal methamphetamine and several pills.
