One doesn't normally think of Cape Cod as a place for drunken buffoonery and shenanigans unless you're part of the Kennedy family. But, one unfortunate chap thought it would be a good idea to punch a police horse in the tookis. From the Cape Cod Times:
Police were busy last night with fourteen arrests, including one of an Orleans man accused of punching a police horse.If Mr. McEnaney were a bit older, maybe he would've heeded the advice from Half-Baked that harming a police horse is considered "Assault on a Police Officer" and not just a hilarious prank to impress fellow members of the Yacht Club.
Christopher McEnaney, 18, was arrested and charged with assault on a police horse and resisting arrest after he punched a horse from the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office, one of the mounted patrol horses ridden during town’s raucous July 4 festivities, Provincetown police Sgt. Carrie Lopes said.
McEnaney is accused of punching the horse, Fred, in the animal’s flank at about 10:20 p.m. while the mounted patrol officers were in the area of Ryder Street and Commercial Street, Lopes said.

Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw could have also confirmed that shenanigans with police horses are frowned upon.

Darn tootin!
Horses can take a punch...He's lucky he didn't get bit. Yes, I'm speaking from experience.
I love Butterstuff!
He's hardly the yacht club type-already on bail for intent to distribute heroin and now caught with more drugs. Fred should've bit him
