This happened Friday night, but we’re only just now hearing about it:
Police arrested two men on Sixth Street for DWI. One was riding a horse; the other one was riding a mule.
(Statesman link includes dashcam video.)
It appears that the DWI charge against the horse rider have been dropped, but police are going forward with the DWI charge against the guy on the mule. In addition,
police plan to charge both men with another crime now: public intoxication, an offense for which they face up to a $500 fine.
(The horse and mule are apparently being held at an animal hospital in Elgin; ownership of the two animals has not been established.)
