Drunk Driver Tries to Switch Places with His Dog to Avoid Arrest

On Saturday night, police in Springfield, Colorado pulled over a driver for speeding. As the officer walked toward the driver's car, he saw that a dog was in the front passenger seat. The clever driver had a cunning plan, which he unfortunately executed in plain view of the approaching officer: he switched seats with the dog!
Perhaps if the officer had not seen the switch, the driver might have avoided arrest and let his dog take the fall for his traffic violation.
Surprisingly, the man was intoxicated. He was arrested and taken to jail. As for the dog, the police say, "The dog does not face any charges and was let go with just a warning."
