Amish Man in Horse & Buggy Arrested for DUI

An Amish man in Pennsylvania was arrested for DUI on Sunday night after police officers found him asleep in his horse and buggy carriage.

22-year-old Elmer Stoltzfoos Fisher was discovered slumped over in the buggy with the reins still in his hands. The carriage was being drawn by a single horse that had gone astray.

East Lampeter Township police were notified after an officer from a neighboring town found the buggy straddling the road's center line and moving at slow speeds, not much faster than a walk.

Police pounded on the buggy's door when they approached the vehicle until Fisher woke up.  According to the officers, Fisher smelled of alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot and watery.

A breathalyzer test recorded Fisher's BAC at .18 percent, double the legal limit. He was then arrested and charged with DUI.
