Two men were arrested for driving while intoxicated on 6th Street Friday night. One was riding a horse, while the other was riding a mule.
Austin police say the men were both intoxicated. They were apparently trying to lure people out of bars and into the street to take pictures with them and their farm animals.
Bartender Brian Matthews thought he had seen everything; that is until he walked outside to have a cigarette Friday night.
"There were these two guys on horses, or mules, or something, outside of Shakespeare's," he said. "(It) looked like they were being pulled over for a DUI."
Jose Rios, 33, and sidekick, Samuel Olivo, Jr., 48, parked their horse trailer near I-35 and 12th Street. They rode their mule and horse down to 6th Street, inviting people to take pictures with them and their four-legged beasts.
Police video shows the two being stopped by officers. In the video, Rios appeared to be so intoxicated that he could not even finish his sobriety test.
Austin police arrested the pair for DWI.
The DWI won't stand...Texas law requires you be operating a motor vehicle (I don't Trigger qualifies) on a public street (which 6th Street definitely qualifies as). The funny thing is I'm surprised someone noticed. :<)
Let's Keep Austin Weird.
