BUNNELL A man was intoxicated while riding his horse as he led police on a half-hour chase through a northeast Florida town, authorities said Tuesday.
Charles Larkin Cowart, 29, was arrested Monday in Bunnell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville.
A police officer was responding to a report of an intoxicated male riding a horse when he turned on his emergency lights to stop traffic as Cowart crossed the street, according to the charging affidavit. Cowart said he was on his way to his grandmothers house in nearby Flagler Beach, but refused officers order to dismount and in an aggressive manner reared the horse back and took off.

Maybe that is where the animal cruelty charge came from.

I’ve lived in NE Florida (Jacksonville) since 1969, we have some real rednecks here.
They don’t call Jax Baja Georgia for nothing!

While drunk and evading the police, I’d say yes.

uh why exactly kemosabe?
“riding while intoxicated” big deal, and while “evading the police” the police had no reason to interfere with this guy. In fact, if he had been polo clothes they may not have.

If it were me on the horse I would’ve been naked, if for no other reason than to make a better headline.

Is there actually a law about riding a horse while intoxicated?
