Now,
that's a headline I never, ever expected to see.
All five were released into the custody of a relative of one the teens. The troopers say they initially had trouble contacting the teens' parents because, due to Amish tradition, the parents don't use telephones.
But now they drive minivans?
Just dayum.

‘a jug of whiskey.’
I’ve only seen whisky in bottles. Is it a custom in Amish country to sell it in jugs?

I thought the only way Amish could go that fast would be terminal velocity reached falling off a cliff. ;-)

They should have been more careful out among the English.

Oh come on! Stupid teens doing stupid things. Nothing new. If they had been FR Amish there would have been a body count. Just because they are Amish doesn’t mean they can’t be morons.

Well, for one thing, they probably did it on the sly.
For another, many Amish have a thing about wired items. Many sects don’t like wires, but allow cellular phones. Many allow wired technology, but only for the community - such as a community phone. But no person or family is allowed their own phone.
I think most do not allow cars at all. Allowed to ride in them, not drive/own. Mennonites drive, Amish ride.
Everything they do/allow is decided by local council, who consider what ramifications such technology might have.

Five Amish teens face alcohol-related charges after their 2001 Dodge Caravan was clocked at 110 miles per hour.
...
They were probably lucky to get caught. An old van like that probably has a soft suspension and they could have lost control easily at that speed.

Aren’t the Amish lenient to teen shenanigans during rumspringa? I wonder what they will do with this crew?

How’d they get a 16 year old minivan up to 110? Downhill?
