Two Amish men reportedly ran away from police after their house-drawn buggy was pulled over by police in Ohio early Sunday morning.

The pair - who haven't been publicly named - are still on the run after fleeing the contraption when the cops spotted them drinking and 'driving' around the town of North Bloomfield around 1 am.

According to WBTW, the sheriffs discovered several open bottles of alcohol inside the buggy, as well as a 12-pack of Michelob Ultra on its top.

The officers also discovered that the equine-powered vehicle also featured a large built-in stereo system.

While Amish people use some forms of electricity - including lights to power their horse-drawn buggies - the use of the stereo system would almost certainly be frowned upon by the Amish community at large.

Horse-drawn buggies are a popular mode of transports for members of the Amish community

Meanwhile, the consumption of alcohol is permitted in some Amish communities, although rules and restrictions vary among different communities.

After the men fled the scene, police had the buggy towed.

They managed to find locals to take care of the horse until the owners come forward.

The Amish population is rapidly growing in North Bloomfield, as it is in Ohio and the United States at large.

The Amish population in Ohio grew 22% between 2010 and 2019, up from 58,000 to 76,000.

That number is more than double the 1992 population, which was just below 35,000.

Meanwhile, Citylab reports that 251,000 Amish people currently live in America and Canada.

In the next two decades, the number is expected to double to half a million.

A 2014 report from NBC found that felonies are on the rise among Amish communities, with drink driving and sexual abuse the most common crime committed by church members.

'There are more of us now,' a 70-year-old Amish leader told the publication.

'Thirty or 50 years ago, the church could keep a tighter cap on it.'

The man said that the population explosion combined with new forms of technology - including smartphones and the internet - was responsible for the increase in Amish people facing charges.
