Police deputy pulls over two Amish buggy drivers chugging beer and rocking out to stereo
North Bloomfield, Ohio police have one for the books -- a deputy pulled over Amish men for driving a horse-drawn buggy, while intoxicated.
WKBNreports that Trumbull County Chief DeputyJoe Dragovichhad a not-so-routine traffic stop early Sunday morning when he had to pull over the horse and buggy, driven by two partying Amish men.
The buggy was equipped with a giant stereo system with large speakers. The deputy also saw a 12-pack of Michelob Ultra on the top of the wagon.
The Amish are famously known for shunning modern technology, and also alcohol, but Amish tradition allows young men and women to experiment with outside ways before they re-dedicate themselves to their community.
The police, however, draw the line at drinking and buggy-driving. As Dragovich approached the vehicle, the two men jumped out of the buggy and booked it, which spooked the horse and caused it to tear off in another direction.
Dragovich chased the frightened horse and, after catching up with it, was left with another odd situation -- how the heck was he going to impound the abandoned buggy?
Instead of operating the buggy himself, he turned it over for towing and brought the horse to a local farmer for safekeeping until police identified the owners.
As of Wednesday, the owners hadn't come forward to claim their horse or the buggy.

CDC Wants People To Stop Kissing, Snuggling Their Chickens
For those who know what they’re doing, owning birds like chickens and ducks and provide a steady source of food, but the risks of raising livestock in your own back yard are significant. Now, the CDC says it’s amassed over 1,000 reports of salmonella infection related to such operations. When preparing chicken as a meal, everyone knows that the meat has to hit 165 degrees Fahrenheit to kill off any potentially troublesome bacteria. However, it seems like backyard poultry owners have quickly forgotten that even just handling a live bird can transfer salmonella bacteria to their skin and the CDC is now emphasizing that any contact with chicken or ducks should be treated as a potential source of infection. The long list of tips provided by the CDC for “Backyard Flock Owners” includes always washing your hands once you’ve touched a bird or handled anything in their living area. There’s also the somewhat humorous suggestion that owners avoid kissing their birds, with the CDC recommending against snuggling them or touching your face or mouth after handling them.
According to a 2016 study from the CDC, 13 percent of the chicken-related salmonella cases they studied from 1990 to 2014 were due, in part, to patients giving their beloved chooks a smooch.
