The rooster remained unharmed throughout the incident.
A Cinnaminson man was arrested in Key West on Friday, March 3 for drunkenly crashing a golf cart trying to run over a rooster.
Key West resident Vincent Vurro told police he saw 34-year-old Daniel Jones swerve into the northbound lane in an attempt to run over a rooster crossing the road, according to the police report.
The golf cart then went back into the southbound lane prior to attempting to turn and rolling onto its side. Jones and his female passenger were ejected from the golf cart.
The female, who had some cuts and bruises, refused to go to the hospital. Jones did not suffer any injuries.
The officer on scene reported that both Jones and the female passenger had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and an overwhelming odor of alcohol, and Jones had difficulty maintaining his balance.
Jones failed several sobriety tests, was arrested, and fell asleep on the way to the local jail. Jones’ blood alcohol level was 0.25, more than three times the legal limit in Key West.
The police issued Jones two criminal citations — one for driving under the influence and one for driving under the influence with property damage. He reportedly refused to sign and accept his citations.
The rooster remained unharmed throughout the incident.
