Four Amish youths were charged with underage drinking after their
horse-drawn buggy collided with a police cruiser in upstate New York,
authorities said Monday. Police were dispatched to the town of
Sherman on Sunday night in response to complaints about Amish youths
drinking and drag racing their horse and carriages on the road, said
Chautauqua County Sheriff Joseph Gerace. "These Amish kids in buggies were racing up and down the street," he said. "When
police came, there were two buggies on the road, and each was taking a
lane of traffic up. One of the buggies tried to shift out of the way
when a patrol car came and ended up crashing into it," Gerace said. The police report from the crash said the buggy flipped over and the horse broke free, running off to a nearby barn. Four youths, aged 18 to 20, were charged with underage possession of alcohol.
