A man was arrested while driving under the influence of alcohol while putting his dog in the driver’s seat. According to the Springfield Police Department in Colorado on the 16th, at 11:30 pm on the 13th, the police saw a vehicle traveling at 52 miles per hour (84 km) far exceeding the speed limit of 30 miles per hour (48 km) on a road in the area.
Police said the man appeared to be clearly intoxicated and began to run away when officers asked if he had been drinking. However, the man was eventually caught by the police about 18m away from the car.
Background checks confirmed that the man had previously had two arrest warrants issued for other crimes. He was imprisoned in a detention center for executing an existing arrest warrant, and charged with drunk driving, speeding, and resisting arrest.
The police added, “The dog at the scene was entrusted to the man’s acquaintance to take care of it for a while.”
