Following up on yesterday’s story, the Statesman has an interview with the (allegedly) drunk horse rider on 6th Street.
Olivo said he plans to reunite with his animals today — they’ve remained at an animal hospital in Elgin since police impounded them.
He said he also plans to soon ride them through downtown again, which is not against any city ordinance.
“I’m just not going to drink a drop of liquor,” Olivo said.
The guy on the mule was apparently not available for comment. And for the record, the Statesman is reporting that the DWI charges against both men have been dropped, but the police are planning to charge them with public intoxication.
