AimeeLeigh79 reports that an Alabama woman has been charged with driving under the influence. This isn’t a huge news item by itself, but again, it’s all about the details. She was “driving” a horse at the time. While most coverage of these kinds of stories focus on the quirks of traffic law, it’s important to note that the horse had a lousy time of it (at one point he or she was made to “ram” a police car, and I have no idea how this would work, but it doesn’t sound good), and even more importantly, authorities did lay cruelty to animals charges against the meth-head, among a zillion other charges. There’s no word on where the horse is now, but hopefully someone had the sense to take him or her into some form of protective custody.
Note to meth-head: next time, use a bike
