A motorist in Draper, Utah, who hit a concrete barrier refused when cops asked him to take a Breathalyzer test.

After two police captains talked to him, he agreed – and was cited for drunken driving when the test showed his blood-alcohol level was well over Utah’s legal limit of 0.08 percent.

The driver was the commander of the Utah Highway Patrol’s drunken-driving unit. The vehicle in which he crashed was his police cruiser.

Police believe the body is that of the woman’s 98-year-old mother, who hadn’t been seen in at least three years.

The mounted police in Belem, Brazil, ride to the rescue on buffalo.

The city, near the mouth of the Amazon, is surrounded by swampy terrain – which can destroy horse hooves but has no effect on a buffalo’s steel-like feet.

And because the hairy beast’s skin is so thick, the fangs of boas and rattlesnakes pose no threat.
