Livingston, CA -- A man whose mother called police because he was acting strangely tried to make a galloping getaway on horseback, but was captured after the steed gave out in the hourlong chase.
Todd Liddon Cowden, 35, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of cruelty to an animal, resisting arrest, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana and four outstanding warrants for driving under the influence and drug charges.
Cowden's mother called deputies to report that her son was acting strangely, said Merced County sheriff's spokesman Scott Dover.
He ran when deputies arrived, Dover said. When he was spotted hours later, he jumped on a horse and tried to trot away. Six deputies gave chase in patrol cars for about three miles until the horse stopped running.
Cowden was held Friday in Merced County Jail in lieu of $49,100 bail.
