I don't know that this qualifies as "cowboy gear". Iowa does though.
I don't see that he was driving, so that shouldn't be part of it.
IOWA CITY, Iowa, (AP) -- Iowa City police say a drunken man dressed like a cowboy broke into a house and threatened to kill the resident's dog. Police said 24-year-old Derrick Thomas Alger of Iowa City was arrested early Thursday morning on charges of trespass, intoxication and carrying a dangerous weapon.
Officers said Alger reportedly threatened a cab driver with a handgun shortly after midnight. They say Alger, who was dressed in shorts, boots and a cowboy hat, fled the scene, but entered the rear door of a private residence, where he demanded to know who the residents were and threatened their barking dog.
Police arrested Alger outside the house and said he had a blood alcohol level several times the legal limit for driving.
Alger has an unlisted telephone number and could not be reached for comment.
