NYPD detective turned Fox 5 reporter Mike Sheehan is saying "neigh" to charges that he was allegedly drunk when he drove into a mounted police officer on Monday night. Sheehan's lawyer Thomas Monagan said, "It is Mr. Sheehan's position that the horse ran into his car," according to the Daily News, which has a photo of the car showing a damaged driver's side window. Cops say Sheehan drove into the horse and cop on Varick at N. Moore Street in Tribeca, leaving the cop with a bruised leg and the horse with cuts, bruises and scrapes; they add that Sheehan refused to take a Breathalyzer test. Monagan said, "How do you hit a horse with the side of your car? You can't," and pointed out that a police officer's initial report found that Sheehan's breath did not smell of alcohol but then the cop apparently changed his story the next morning to say the newsman had "slurred speech and the smell of alcohol on his breath."
