SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. -- A woman has posted $500 bond on a charge of public intoxication after police said she passed out on a horse she rode in the Shelbyville Christmas parade. According to the Shelbyville Times-Gazette, a 46-year-old woman was found slumped over on her horse outside a motel.

Police said they had been notified of a possibly intoxicated rider in a red coat on a white horse in the parade Saturday night.

Officers said they had to catch her twice to keep her from falling.

Probably because a horse isn't a motorized vehicle.  Now if they changed the wording to "powered transportation", things might be different. ;D

I would agree with Gordon.Here in Ontariariario you can only be charged for impared while operating a motor vehicle.All non powered vehicles are exempt under the Highway Traffic Act[HTA].However,you could be charged for "intoxicated in a public place" .This will bring a fine and maybe time in the Klink until you sober up.   Rock On

Yes they can!  And I'm sure they can easily tell if you're in any kind of altered state.

I spent a bunch of time in the early 80's in Shelbyville & Tullahoma Tenn. We pissed off the female pitcher of a Shelbyville softball team and after the game she offered to kick my ass and all my friends asses...Beer became involved. I later invited her to my room.  Maybe that's was her, pining for me.




Just saying.
