Woman allegedly four times over limit rides horse to Logan bottle shop

A woman four times over the legal alcohol limit allegedly rode a horse through the drive-through of a Logan bottle shop on Monday night, June 4.

Police from Springwood were called to the Wembley Road tavern after reports of a woman refusing to leave the premises about 11.30pm.

The 51-year-old woman who was allegedly riding the horse was arrested and taken back to Logan Central Police Station.

Police said she allegedly recorded a positive blood-alcohol reading of .226 per cent.

The horse was led back to Logan Central Police Station, where police were helped by council workers who walked it back to a property in Marsden while the woman was processed.

The woman was charged with being in charge of a horse while under the influence of liquor, and will appear at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on June 26.

Police said drink-driving was not limited to a vehicle, and could include a horse.
