Cops pulled over a horse and buggy in Ohio when they saw the two Amish men inside pounding beer as they rode — and found a massive rocking stereo system in the back, according to a report.
The Trumbull County sheriff’s deputies in North Bloomfield also found a 12-pack of Michelob Ultras on top of the buggy with several open bottles inside, WKBN reported.
The men — who come from a community that usually shuns high technology and avoids alcohol — fled into the trees as the deputies approached and left their horse behind to continue clopping down the road, deputies said.
The buggy was towed and deputies found someone to take care of the horse until the owner comes forward.
The Amish are a Christian group that originated with Anabaptist Swiss-Germans in 16th-century Europe. They are known for simple living, plain dress and reluctance to adopt modern conveniences like electronic speakers.
While many Amish also shun booze, some members of the community have had legal problems with getting DUIs in their buggies.
In April, a 21-year-old Amish man in Ohio ran a stop sign and admitted to drinking 10 beers after a police dashcam caught it on video.
Reuben Yoder, 34, was arrested in June after he collided with a car at a Kentucky intersection while under the influence of alcohol, Bowling Green Daily News reported.
Four Amish people were arrested for underage drinking in 2012 when their buggy crashed and other buggies traveling with them fled the scene, the Telegraph reported.
