Four arrested after allegedly drunk driving horse and buggy
by TREVOR DREW | WPBN/WGTU StaffMonday, December 30th 2019

All four subjects were arrested for felony obstruction of justice, disorderly person and issued civil infractions for minors in possession of alcohol. (Gladwin County Sheriff's Office)
GLADWIN COUNTY, Mich. (WPBN/WGTU) -- Four subjects were arrested after Gladwin County deputies found them tossing beer cans out of a horse and buggy while riding in Beaverton Township.
Deputies said they encountered the group in the area of Beaverton Road and Bard Road around 4 p.m. on Sunday.
The four subjects originally gave false information for their ages, deputies said and refused to give their names.
Upon further investigation, several open and unopened containers of alcohol were located in the buggy, deputies said, and all four subjects were under the influence of alcohol.
The sheriff's office identified the four as Levei Mast, 20, Andrew Zook, 19, Joseph Miller, 20, and Joseph Troyer, 19, all from Gladwin County.

the Bishop is going to be POE'd when these boys get home. They no doubt will be reassigned to Barn Cleaning for a few months.

at the bus station from a locker, go raise cain and sometimes get caught trying to meet a prostitute and get into the paper.
They were the most polite partiers, and the haircuts marked them out for the sharks. But they were up for a fight if riled and very tough.

I wonder if they charged the w/ driving under the influence or something like that?

so he rode his horse all over including through the Tim Horton's drive through window to get coffee. Police had to chase him to give him a ticket.
