This one started innocently enough (don't they all?) with a man urinating on the side of the convenience store Saturday night in Culpepper, VA. When several spectators asked him to stop because children were present, the drunken man became angry, hopped back on the horse he was riding and tried to run the mob down with his animal. He then took off with a female companion, who apparently was also drunk and also on horseback.
Or course, the police were called and were able to catch up with couple on a nearby street. But did they stop? No, they took off on the horses, but didn't get far according to reports. The man eventually ran into a utility wire and was knocked off his steed, while the woman just fell off her horse because she was so drunk. The pair were charged with riding a horse on a highway after dark without proper reflective material, being drunk in public and obstruction of justice and the guy also was charged with attempted unlawful wounding.
BONUS: This is their second arrest this year for being drunk on horseback! (Washington Post)
