Horse rider arrested at Logan, QLD

A 51-year-old woman has been charged after allegedly riding a horse to a Logan bottle shop while more than four times the legal alcohol limit last night, Queensland Police say.

Officers from Springwood attended a tavern on Wembley Road at Logan Central around 11:30pm in relation to a woman refusing to leave the licensed premises.

Upon arriving at the business the female allegedly rode the horse through the drive through section of the tavern and appeared heavily intoxicated.

The female was arrested and transported to Logan Central Police Station, where she allegedly provided a positive BAC of 0.226 per cent.

Officers walked the horse back to Logan Central Police Station whilst the female was processed before council workers assisted in walking the horse back to a Marsden address.

The 51-year-old woman was charged with being in charge of a horse whilst under the influence of liquor.

She is due to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on June 26.

Police want to remind the public that drink driving does not just mean a vehicle, it can include a horse.
