DUI For Amish Man In Buggy

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers have blogged about some of the many maniacs MADD has helped to take off the roads, including people on barstools, lawnmowers, horseback, golf carts, bicycles, wheelchairs, tractors, and even La-Z-boy chairs. Now the latest in our on-going series on absurd drunk driving arrests: an Amish man in a buggy.

Amish Buggy Driver Charged With DUI

LANCASTER – Police in central Pennsylvania say they arrested an Amish man on drunk driving charges over the weekend after he was found asleep in his moving buggy.

East Lampeter Township Police say 22-year-old Elmer Stoltzfoos Fisher, of Paradise, was slumped over and asleep in a slow-moving buggy on Sunday night.

An off-duty officer from nearby Quarryville reported seeing the horse pulling the buggy at a walking pace as it straddled the center line.

Police say a breathalyzer test snowed Fisher’s blood-alcohol content was 0.18, more than twice the 0.08 legal limit for drivers.

Congratulations to all involved on making our roads safer.
