COLUMBUS – It was not a typical traffic stop last Sunday for deputies in northeast Ohio’s Trumbull County, who pulled over two Amish men while operating a horse and buggy while apparently drinking and carrying beer on their buggy’s roof.
The two men were pulled over early Sunday with a 12-pack of Michelob Ultra on the roof of the buggy, which was outfitted with a giant stereo system, according to a television report.
When a deputy tried to stop and question the men about drinking and driving, they leaped out of the buggy and disappeared into the woods.
Meanwhile, the horse pulling the buggy also took off, but the deputy caught up to it and turned the horse over to a local farmer.
Authorities are encouraging the two men to come forward and retrieve their horse and buggy. They could be charged with failure to comply with the deputy’s commands.
