A dude in Kentucky was arrested after police say that he rode a horse while intoxicated.
40 year old Michael Kimmel told police that he "didn't do sh*t," and that he was just riding his horse.
Police arrived at the scene when people complained about the drunk rider.

The police released the following report:
"The arrest report, filed by Trooper J. Gabbard, says [Kimmel] was ordered to stop, but instead he ran down an embankment, fleeing on foot, wearing only a brown hat, jeans, and boots. During the search for the suspect, police say the found his clothing on the back porch of his own house."

Police caught up with Mr. Kimmel and arrested him. He is, however, on probation for a burglary charge. Now he faces DUI charges and evading police.

Now, how is he going to explain this to his cellmates? Breaking probation to evade police by drunk riding a horse.

Wow. Just, wow.

My Two Cents:

I totally understand that public intoxication is wrong. However, this dude was riding a horse. Do cops know how many people drunk rode horses back in the 19th century and before? Maybe half of those drunkies were thrown in jail. At least this guy wasn't driving a car. Besides, if Kimmel pissed off the horse at any time, he could just buck Mr. Drunkie off and laugh as Kimmel busts his a** on the ground.

I'm just picturing Kimmel sitting in his jail cell with murderers and rapists, and telling these dudes why he is in the slammer: "Well, I was on probation, and then I got arrested for drunk riding a horse and evading cops."

I seriously wish there was video of this. Video footage would make my entire week!
