A Colorado man switched places with his dog to avoid a DUI, leading to national news reports and convos about other pooches that have grabbed headlines.
Dog's can be a lot of things these days: Cops, emotional support animals, man's best friend, etc.Late last Saturday night, May 13, police in Springfield, Colorado, pulled over what appeared to be a doggy in a Dodge — or at least that's what his owner wanted cops to believe — after it was caught on radar going 52 mph in a 30 mph zone.
After making the traffic stop, a Springfield Police officer approached the vehicle and watched as a male individual squirmed out from the driver's seat and switched places with his dog in the passenger seat. The man did not get far — SPD says its officer apprehended him after a twenty-yard dash before taking him in on DUI charges, resisting arrest charges and other outstanding warrants from Pueblo.
