Chicago DUI lawyer comments on the DUI in a buggy powered by a horse

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here on DUI's that aren't in traditional vehicles. Now comes the news that an Amish man has been charged with a DUI in a horse-drawn buggy.

A slow-moving horse and buggy led to the arrest Sunday night of a Paradise man, who was charged with drunken driving.

Perry pounded on the buggy door until Fisher woke up.

Police said Fisher showed signs of intoxication, including a strong smell of alcohol on his breath and bloodshot, watery eyes.

Police said they administered a breathalyzer test, which showed Fisher's blood-alcohol content was 0.18 percent. Pennsylvania residents are considered legally intoxicated if their blood-alcohol content is 0.08 or above.


I'm wondering if Pennsylvania will follow the lead of Georgia and dismiss this case.
