Amish man in horse-drawn cart leads police on low-speed chase

An Amish man led police on a low-speed chase in a horse-drawn buggy after driving the wrong way down a road in Orwell, Ohio.

Footage shared by the Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Office shows deputies confronting the driver, who had “rammed” his horse and cart into a police cruiser.

The sheriff's office confirmed they were called to help Orwell Police with a “reckless operator” on May 14.

In further police bodycam footage, officers attempted to wake up the “drunk” driver who had “passed out” in the buggy.
