DUI suspect trades places with his dog after being pulled over

A 28-year-old Colorado man thought he was speeding when police pulled him over for speeding, but instead found himself in the doghouse.

Colorado Man frames his dog to take the heat when pulled over for speeding

If the nameless man was ever happy that his furry best friend couldn’t talk, it’s about time the pup told the officer the truth at the bazaar traffic stop. Over the weekend, the man who was pulled over for going 52 mph in a 30 mph zone in Springfield, Colorado, pointed his finger at his four-legged passenger, saying he was the driver.

“The driver attempted to switch places with his dog, who was in the passenger seat, as the SPD officer approached and observed the process,” Springfield, CO police wrote. Facebook comment.

“The male party then exited the passenger side of the vehicle and claimed he was not the driver. The male party clearly showed signs of intoxication, and when asked about his alcohol consumption, the man fled from the police.

He didn’t get very far before police caught him just 20 meters from the vehicle.

It was later discovered that the driver, the man, not the dog, was traveling from Las Animas to Pueblo and got lost in Springfield. Police also found he had two active warrants out of Pueblo.

“BCSO arrived and assisted with the incident and the male party was medically evaluated at the hospital and booked into the Baca County Jail and also charged; driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, impaired driving, driving while suspended, speeding 20-24 degrees and resisting arrest,” the Facebook post continued.

For those concerned about what happened to the dog, he has been cleared of all charges and is being cared for while his owner is in jail. (But you’ve been warned, so you’d better never let that happen again.)

“EDIT: The dog was given to an acquaintance of the driver to watch over while the party is in jail. The dog was not charged, only released with a warning,” the post reads.

Jokes filled the comments section of the Facebook post
