Two Amish men drinking spiked iced tea in a horse and buggy, a 12-pack of Michelob Ultra sitting atop their horse and buggy and a giant stereo system inside.
It's not something you'd expect to see every day. But authorities with the Trumbull County Sheriff's Department in Ohio say that's exactly what they saw during a routine patrol in the county's Amish community.
Deputy Joe Dragovich was on patrol that early morning on September 15. When he attempted to stop and question the two men about drinking and driving, they leapt out of the buggy and made their great escape -- disappearing into the woods on the side of the road, according to the report obtained by CNN affiliate WJW.
A call by CNN to obtain a copy of the police report was not immediately returned.
Meanwhile, the horse pulling the buggy also took off running, but Dragovich managed to catch up to it. The men, though, were gone.

Amish lady (middle age) in front of me in line got a 12 pack of Budweiser. I watched her get in her buggy, open a beer, drink it down in one swallow, open another, pick up the reins and head off.
It was an interesting tableau on a cold Saturday in November.
