In Watson, Louisiana, a man driving a truck pulling a horse trailer stopped in a daiquiri shop, and when he decided to leave, he decided it was safer to leave the truck there and ride the horse home. A deputy responded to complaints about the man riding his horse on the highway. She couldn’t arrest him for DW.I, so she ticketed him for being dru.nk in public. The man told a local ABC News reporter, “When you get a little too much to drink, why not ride a horse? It’s safer that way. The horse knows the way home.”
