<p>In a desperate attempt to avoid arrest, a drunk driver in southeastern <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/listicle/colorado-school-bus-driver-30-child-abuse-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colorado</a> is accused of trading seats with his dog!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Officer Saw The Driver &#8220;Switch Places With His Dog&#8221;</h3>
<p>The situation unfolded in Springfield, Colo., late Saturday night, according to a Facebook post from the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=203171495898303&;set=a.110597628489024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Springfield Police Department</a>.</p>
<p>It all began after an officer pulled a car over for traveling 22 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.</p>
<p>At that point, the unnamed driver — later described as having shown &#8220;clear signs of intoxication&#8221; — allegedly attempted to cover his tracks through highly-questionable means. Specifically, he tried to <em><strong>&#8220;switch places with his dog</strong> <strong>who was in the passenger seat,&#8221;</strong></em> and the officer hilariously &#8220;watched the entire process.&#8221;</p>
<p>The matter only grew more outrageous from there. In fact, the man &#8220;<strong><em>exited the passenger side of the vehicle and claimed he was not driving.&#8221; </em></strong>Not him trying to frame man&#8217;s best friend!</p>
<p>After the officer inquired about the driver&#8217;s alcohol intake, he allegedly made a run for it.</p>
<p>However, he was ultimately &#8220;apprehended quickly within about 20 yards of the vehicle.&#8221; So, it looks like this runner was no track star!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">What Happened To The Framed Dog?</h3>
<p>Once the driver was apprehended, he was taken to a hospital to be medically cleared. Authorities also note they discovered the man had &#8220;two active warrants for his arrest.&#8221;</p>
<p>As a result, he was booked into Baca County Jail. On top of his warrants, he was also charged with DUI, along with other charges like resisting arrest and driving on a suspended license.</p>
<p>As for the pooch, authorities note it was temporarily &#8220;given to an acquaintance of the driver to take care of.&#8221;</p>
<p>Humorously, the post ends with, <strong><em>&#8220;The dog does not face any charges and was let go with just a warning.&#8221;</em></strong></p>

<p>Roommates, what do you think of this man&#8217;s attempt to frame his dog for DUI?</p>
