An Amish man cops say was drunk was filmed passed out behind the wheel of his moving buggy - which only came to a halt when it crashed into a police road block.
Bodycam video captured the moment twenty-one-year-old Nathan Miller was found in Orwell by Ashtabula Sheriff deputies around 2:43 a.m. on Saturday.
Law enforcement had responded to reports that Miller's buggy was 'all over the road,' Fox News first reported.
'Hey, hey, wake up!' Sheriff's Deputy Mike Talbert can be heard saying as he first spots the rogue buggy.
When Miller trundles on by to the sound of clattering hooves, Talbert speaks into his radio and says: 'There's a Bud Light can in there and he's passed clean out. We got a drunk Amish guy passed out in a buggy.'
After a low-speed chase, Talbert tried to block the road, and the buggy crashed into the deputy's car.
'I have it stopped,' Talbert said. 'Nope, disregard, he just rammed it into my car.'
It was only then that a very-confused Miller woke up, and finally regained control of his buggy.
Miller has been arrested and charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence. He is scheduled in court on May 26.
Penalties for operating horse-drawn vehicles while impaired are generally lighter than those drunk car drivers are given, and Miller will likely be slapped with a fine.

This was a Tesla Amish buggy....
Was the cop afraid he has going to make a trot for it?
Like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Using two empty halves of coconuts for the sound of galloping?
