Amish Buggy Drag Racing, Drinking: Youth Charged After Crash Into Police Car
March 12 (Reuters) - Four Amish youths were charged with underage drinking after they crashed their horse-drawn buggy into a police cruiser in upstate New York, authorities said on Monday.

Police were dispatched to the town of Sherman on Sunday night in response to complaints about Amish youths drinking and drag racing their horse and carriages on the road, said Chautauqua County Sheriff Joseph Gerace.

"These Amish kids in buggies were racing up and down the street," he said.

"When police came, there were two buggies on the road and each was taking a lane of traffic up. One of the buggies tried to shift out of the way when a patrol car came and ended up crashing into it," Gerace said.

The police report from the crash said the buggy flipped over and the horse broke free, running off to a nearby barn.

Four youths, aged 18 to 20, were charged with underage possession of alcohol.

Sherman is a town in western New York about 90 miles (145 km) south of Buffalo. The area is home to a large Amish community.

This is hilarious! I hope the horse is alright.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

My grandmother's best friend's son was killed in a car crash with an Amish buggy. It was night, and the buggy backed into the street or something-- in the days before buggies were required to mount reflectors. Amish kid and horse survived, I think.

Different situation, I know-- just pointing out that driving a buggy while drunk can be as dangerous as drunk-driving a car.

Possibly more dangerous as horses have a mind of their own.

If they were kept at home doing hour upon hour of maths homework, none of these problems would occur...

When I was in high school the guy at the liquor store always demanded to see my ID. (I had one done in crayon that met his rigorous standards.)

Many western countries have restriction on buying and selling alcohol what I meant I have never heard of any having a restriction on possessing it. If we arrested anyone under 18 found in the posession of alcohol im the UK we would have most the population in jail. Seriously is there any Brit's here who havent had a can of beer/wine outside their home at least once before they were 18

Saudi's will obviously be pissed of whatever age you are

Possession by minors is illegal in most US states.

The liquor is technically in the possession of the adults in the residence. Allowing kids to have access to that liquor can get you in trouble with the law.

I couldn't legally drink in my home town when I was shooting people.
