Alabama resident allegedly used animal to ram a police car at midnight


SYLVANIA, Ala. - A woman who went for a horseback ride through town at midnight and allegedly used the horse to ram a police car was charged with driving under the influence and drug offenses, police said Tuesday.

"Cars were passing by having to avoid it, and almost hitting the horse," said Police Chief Brad Gregg.

He said DUI charges can apply even when the vehicle has four legs instead of wheels.

Police in the northeast Alabama town received a call around midnight Saturday about someone riding a horse on a city street, Gregg said.

Officer John Seals found Melissa Byrum York, 40, of Henagar, on horseback on a nearby road and attempted to stop her. Seals asked the woman repeatedly to get off the horse, but she kept trying to kick the animal to make it run, the chief said.

"She wouldn't stop. She kept riding the horse and going on," Gregg said.

After ramming the police car with the horse and riding away, the woman tried to jump off but caught her foot in a stirrup, Gregg said. The officer took the woman into custody and discovered that she had crystal methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana, pills and a small pipe, the chief said.

Horse not 'in the best of health'
York was charged with DUI for allegedly riding the horse under the influence of a controlled substance. She was also charged with drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, assault, attempting to elude police and cruelty to animals.

Gregg said the horse, which belonged to York, "wasn't in the best of health, but it's still alive."

York was released from the DeKalb County Jail on $4,000 bond and was being transferred to the jail in Jackson County, where authorities had a warrant for her arrest on unrelated charges, Gregg said.

Jackson County officials said Tuesday that York had yet to be booked, and there were no records indicating whether she had a lawyer.

I conclude the lady in question will pine for the horse's phallic ministrations...

the perplexities in your commenting skills require thought and absorption time on my behalf for me to fully attain and ponder the complexities of your thought process...
After reading many of your comments past and current it has led me to one conclusion....

Carleton Hughes, you may be almost as crazy as I am...http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...ool_smiley.gif

Ahhh! another true intellectual!! we can bore eachother on any subject!!!

one day me talk pretty. Lady Godiva on drugs, say it ain't so. Carleton does make his audience think...."the brain is a muscle and the intellect is measured by how well that muscle is exercised."

Hit and run with a horse, thats a new one...

HAY! She's my neigh-bor!

Kuan,
You say that with such unbridled passion.

Hold onto your horses my friend, we not quite to the mane attraction yet.

I'm just trying to stirrup things a little...

I'll spur the discussion on by questioning how stable the lady is.

"Neigh sherrif. Say this night mare was but a dream." -Said the offender upon awakening in the jailhouse.

C'mon Marty....Hasn't she been saddled with enough guilt?

Perhaps so much so that she'll have to return her bridle dress and cancel the wedding...

caterer's gonna be pissed after collecting all those road apples.
