Colorado Man Trying To Avoid DUI Arrest Attempted To Swap Places With His Dog

A Colorado driver, who was pulled over for speeding, tried to switch places with his dog to avoid arrest, police in Colorado said.

An officer watched him maneuvering inside the car before he got out on the passenger side on Saturday night in Springfield, a town of about 1,300 people on the state’s Eastern Plains, police said on Facebook on Sunday.

The man said he was not behind the wheel and clearly showed signs of being drunk, police said.

He ran from the officer when asked about how much he had had to drink and was caught within about 20 yards, police said.

After being taken to the hospital to be checked out, the man was arrested on suspicion of charges including driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and driving while ability impaired as well as for previous warrants for his arrest.

“Lmaoooo bro excuse me.. how did you think that would work,” someone commented. “They’re different out in Colorado,” another person wrote.

“Is the dog facing any charges,” someone else queried.
