In a recent incident, Officer Brackett demonstrated unwavering commitment to keeping our roads safe. While on duty, he noticed a horseback rider carrying an open container of alcohol. Concerned for everyone's safety, Officer Brackett contacted the rider and it became evident that the rider was impaired by alcohol, leading to their arrest for DUI. It's worth noting that, according to California Vehicle Code 21050, the rules of the road apply to those riding animals on the highway. In a display of true compassion, Officer Brackett also ensured the safe return of the horse to its origin after the arrest. This incident serves as a reminder that impaired riding, even on a horse, poses risks to both the rider and others on the road. We commend Officer Brackett's dedication to upholding safety standards in all situations. Let's continue to prioritize responsible and sober actions on our roadways. #CHPMerced #SafetyMatters #DontDrinkAndRide #DUI #californiahighwaypatrol #lawenforcement #cops #horseback #SaddleUpSafely
