-Man switches places with his dog to avoid arrest - it didn't work

[Blunderbuss Firozabad]

Saturday night, in the small town of Springfield, Colorado, a car was pulled over for speeding.

As the officer watched, he saw a lot of maneuvering inside the car until a man emerged from the passenger side door.

And a dog was sitting in the drivers seat, behind the wheel.

The man claimed he hadn't been driving, and when ask how much he had to drink he made a valiant escape effort by stumbling away about 20 yards.

Following at a leisurely pace, the officer apprehended him, etcetera, etcetera, and he was arrested for DUI and his several outstanding warrants.

He must’ve been really drunk to think that was going to work. Local cops will be laughing about that one for years to come.

If the cops didn't do a BAL on the dog the driver could still get off on a technicality.

I just saw this and was trying to decide where to post it, but you beat me to it, @Blunderbuss Firozabad! I really wish I had been there to see it - it must have been hysterical!

Those doggone drunks!

The next feat of engineering should be a human-shaped car driven by a dog.

It is an absolute crime that there is no accompanying footage.

I agree. I would have paid to see that!

I like watching drunks stumble.
Thankfully I have a decent imagination so this can play over and over.

However, in case you don't...

OK, so I spent ten minutes laughing like a maniac! The guy on the bicycle was especially funny.
