If a police officer tells you not to touch his police horse, you probably shouldn't touch his police horse. According to St. Petersburg, Fla., police, former Buccaneers offensive lineman Ian Beckles failed to heed that warning Thursday when Beckles was arrested and charged with disorderly intoxication after allegedly ignoring an officer's order to follow traffic signals and not to touch a police horse. Police (via the Tampa Bay Times) said Beckles was walking into traffic while people left a Citizen Cope concert at about 11 p.m. Thursday. After an officer asked him to walk on the sidewalk, the officer wrote in his report, Beckles was “highly intoxicated, swaying and slurring his speech," and that he "had difficulty speaking in complete sentences and had the strong smell of alcohol on his breath."

there is so much humor in this story ................. first off, WHERE did he touch the horse? :rofl: did the police have to give the horse a doll afterwards and ask it 'tell us where the big black man touched you?' ? and why does disorderly intoxication even come into play here? From the story, the charges should have been 'jaywalking' and the touching of the horse. You can't charge someone with disorderly intoxication just because they're slurring their speech. He wasn't driving or anything. I wish i could have been there to see this. I wonder if anyone got a video of it.
