SYLVANIA, Alabama - It turns out that you can be charged with a DUI...even when you're not in a car. A drugged-out cowgirl found that out the hard way.

A woman used a horse to ram a police car during a midnight ride through town and was charged with driving under the influence, police said. DUI charges can apply even if the vehicle has four legs instead of wheels, Chief Brad Gregg said Tuesday.
After police received a call that a woman was riding a horse in the middle of the street, an officer confronted Melissa Byrum York, 40, and asked her to stop.

"She wouldn't stop," he said. "She kept riding the horse and going on."
After ramming the police car with the horse and riding away, York tried to jump off but caught her foot in a stirrup, Gregg said.
Miss York was arrested and charged with a list of crimes, including:

York was released from the DeKalb County jail on $4,000 bond, then, to add insult to injury, was transferred to a different jail for an unrelated charge.

Remember, kids, drugs are bad mmmkay...
