Man Arrested While Driving Drunk -- On A Horse

If Florida on Monday, 29-year-old Charles Larkin Cowart led police on a half-hour drunken chase. But it wasn't a car he was driving, but a horse!

Police took very careful consideration when dealing with the situation and did everything they could to not spook the horse and worsen the situation.  They used their lights to stop traffic, but kept their sirens quiet. 

Police ordered Cowart to get off the horse several times, to which he, "in an aggressive manner reared the horse back" and continued to run with the horse. He did eventually jump down and then took off on foot, but was captured just a short time later.

Cowart was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest without violence and cruelty to animals. Earlier this month he was also arrested for petty theft, as well as a DUI in October of 2010.


But don't worry -- the horse was returned to the Cowart's home and is doing just fine!
