A person riding a horse through traffic and refusing to pull over for police was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following a brief pursuit in Whittier.
Police say the horseback rider was “galloping through traffic” and refusing to “pull the horse over.”
Eventually the rider surrendered and was taken into custody. The unidentified rider is expected to be charged with driving under the influence.

Marshal Sam McCloud?
I grew up in Whittier...went to Whittier High School. Now I live in Seattle.
Someone told me Whittier has become fairly dangerous - is that true?
Retarded. You can’t havce a drink and ride a horse? This country is completely pussified.
Very much so.
When you mount a horse as a rider, that does not make you a mere passenger. The horse is not going to autonomously take you where you need to go. A horse is not going to voluntarily go onto a major boulevard as if it was just another car. You will need to essentially “drive” the horse, therefore you now assume the role of being a driver and become responsible for where that horse goes.
Back in the day.....Never worked out though but....nice girls.
My first thought.
Seattle? And that isn’t dangerous????
He needs a faster horse
And we were in the next pasture....He stopped at the gates...and I opened them...then closed them. And got back on....
This was in the pitch black too. Got home.,,and put the horse away...and got in my bed.
MADD has turned into Mad Cow. These Liberal causes take on a life of their own. There are plenty of reasons to not want to kill people with an automobile. DUI tries to make it so that punishment can be applied with minimal effort. It’s also not applied at all, if you’re married to the Speaker of the House.
Was he strapping or whipping a Haitian with the reins?
I know someone it happened to. I think he got a lawyer and negotiated it down. But I always wondered what would happen if he'd just plead guilty. Jailtime is hard to believe. Suspeding his license, well he didn't have a license. Mandatory training? Again, that's for people with cars. I guess just a big fine.
Went to tech school in Bellmead, TX. Local bar had a ‘horses only’ section in front of the building. Hitching posts. Nobody I heard of that got a DUI on a horse.
Actual ranch hands rode in.
They didn’t arrest the horse? How can this be? This is California, after all, and isn’t the horse held to be a co-conspirator in this traffic chase?
Clearly the horse was a Democrat. Or at least an illegal immigrant registered and voting as a Democrat. < /sarcasm >
When I go to Whittier, I never feel unsafe. However, it lies in LA County, whose radical Soros-backed DA, George Gascon, has made everything west of the Orange County line a dangerous place.
Doesn’t matter anymore, it’s about $$.
Riding a horse drunk maybe idiotic but doesn’t warrant a DUI, nor does it on a bicycle, lawn mower etc. Drunk in public maybe but that’s it.
Technically, wouldn’t it be an RUI?

What base is near Waco?
