Georgia woman charged with riding horse while drunk

CLAYTON, Ga. -- Well, that's a DUI of a different color.

Heather Darnell, 22, of Mountain City, Ga., faces a drunk driving charge after she steered the horse she was riding onto the highway and tangled with a car, authorities said. Darnell also was cited for entering a traffic lane.

She remains in intensive care after being airlifted to the Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, Ga.

The horse apparently survived, officials said.

Three people who were in the Pontiac Bonneville that struck the horse Friday night were treated at Mountain Lakes Medical Center in Clayton, Ga., and released: Ancella Gragg, 32, of Lakemont, Ga., who was at the wheel; and a 13-year-old girl and 9-year-old boy.

Trooper Anthony Coleman said Gragg did not see the horse until too late and was unable to avoid hitting it.

``If it's on the public right-of-way, you're under the same jurisdiction as if you're in a car,'' Coleman said.

I dunno, a horse is in no way a motor vehicle... seems like a stretch.

In PA you can get a DUI for horse, bike, car and riding lawnmower. Even if the lawnmower is on your own property

PussyTeenies · 10-11-2006, 12:31 AM

if your drunk and horseback riding on a public road in the netherlands you can also get charged

since you are a participant in traffic and the normal traffic rules also apply to horseback riders
