Two Men Arrested for DWI under Unusual Circumstances.
In Austin, Texas in mid-January, two men were arrested for DWI. While DWI charges are fairly common, the two men were arrested under unusual circumstances. In Austin it is legal to ride a horse on a public street. It is not however, legal to ride the horse while intoxicated.
Joes Rios and Olivio were arrested for DWI on a horse and a mule after they left their horse trailer near I-35 and rode the horse and mule down 6th street in Austin. During their ride they invited people to take pictures with them and their horse.
Police who happened to be nearby were not amused however, and asked the two men to perform field sobriety tests. Rios was unable to complete the sobriety test, presumably because he was too intoxicated.
