A Wyoming man was arrested last week for riding a horse under the influence…in a snow storm.
28 year old Benjamin Daniels was arrested after a concerned motorist rang police saying Daniels was a road risk because it was difficult to see him, on his white horse, in the snow storm.
Police officers pulled Daniels over to explain that he was creating a driving hazard, when they smelled alcohol on his breath. A trip to the local jail for the night, and a blood test later, Daniels was released.
The Edmonton Sun reports that a friend collected the horse.
