Amish Teen Leads Police on Horse-And-Buggy Chase

[No Limit]

(July 21) -- Kids these days. Give them the keys to the horse and carriage, and they go wild.

Levi Detweiler, a 17-year-old Amish kid from Leon, N.Y., allegedly ran a stop sign in his horse and buggy, leading authorities on a mile-long low-speed chase.

Detweiler took a sharp turn too fast and turned the buggy over, rolling it into a ditch, police said. He then got out and fled on foot.

Levi Detweiler, a 17-year-old Amish youth, is accused of leading police on a low-speed one-mile chase on July 18 when he allegedly refused to pull over while driving his horse and buggy. He was charged with possession of alcohol and "over-driving an animal."

...

And, yes, "over-driving an animal" is an actual crime.

Who would have known you can't "over drive an animal"? I hope they have video of this.

I blame RDR.

I blame RDR.

If he went for a carriage instead of the single horse buggy, he would have had much more stability going around that corner.

I kinda imagined the boy riding West Dickens' carriage, with the old man next to him cursing.

YA! YAAAH!!!

I find it hilarious that he rolled that bitch trying to escape from police cruisers, capable of ~160 MPH

It was probably the fastest thrill of his life.

I blame games, GTA specifically.

Oh, wai--!

 

[Escaep]

Shoulda shot the hooves out.

Red Dead Redemption?

It must be all this "Music Television" these kids are watching these days!!!

 

[Anthraxxx]

V-Tec must've kicked in, yo!

I think it's hilarious that after GTA games are released there's all these kids stealing cars etc.

After Red Dead Redemption this happens.

Red Dead Redemption?

That's...

not the joke. :|

That's...

not the joke. :|

It just came to my mind, but I thought it was so obvious that any pretense of making it into a joke was inappropriate... Yes, needless and forced, with this being a case of Amish anyway.

These pretty much all reference that.

Oh, Shakermaker's post in particular, though I wouldn't say all of these do. How embarrassing.

 

[Danimal]

That would have been a frightening experience from his POV - Super High-Tech Devil Cops hounding you down and all.

 

[Eejit]

[some kind of joke about RDR/Grand Theft Equine]

 

[Druckles]

Sex, drugs and horse chases.

He didn't have nearly enough horsepower to outrun police.
