Amish teen ticketed for having beer in buggy

(05-12) 18:01 PDT Leon, N.Y. (AP) --

Police cracking down on rowdy Amish youths ticketed a teenager for having beer in his horse-drawn buggy when they pulled him over on a western New York road. They said the 17-year-old was charged with underage possession of alcohol after he was stopped by deputies late Monday night in the town of Leon, 40 miles south of Buffalo.

Detective Nathan Root said the teen admitted drinking beer, but passed a field sobriety test.

Root says another Amish man in the buggy, a 22-year-old, was charged with providing the beer. Both are scheduled to be arraigned June 22.

Patrols were stepped up after an Amish elder's property was vandalized when he confronted youths about their drinking and listening to radios.

Do you know how drunk you have to be to make a horse stagger?

13. It took about four beers to get my horse drunk enough to be silly

So a six pack probably would have made her stagger!

12. Amish Teenagers are Always Wild

much more than in other evangelical communities. Their parents let them pretty much alone during their teen years. When they are of age, they have to decide whether to stay with the community and abide by its rules or leave without stigma and be a part of the secular world.

14. Let the guy be. He could pass out and it's OK since the horse

knows the way home.

15. First beer...then pneumatic tires...then electric appliances.

This amish young one had better be careful.:silly:

16. As long as the horse is sober, what's the problem?

That's the nice thing about a buggy - the power source is also the designated driver.
