BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A man told police not to blame him for crashing his truck into a light post - it was that unicorn behind the wheel. Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said Phillip C. Holliday Jr. initially denied driving the truck involved in the March 7 crash in Billings. He told officers at the scene that a unicorn was driving, she said.

Holliday, 42, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving.

A pickup truck drove through a red light and nearly struck another truck in the intersection, according to court documents. The driver then made an erratic U-turn through a gas station, crossed the street and crashed into a light pole. Nobody was injured.

Holliday has five drunken-driving convictions. District Judge Gregory Todd kept his bail at $100,000 despite his lawyer arguing that Holliday's last such conviction was 14 years ago.

I don't get it, how did he get a drunk driving if the unicorn was driving. Are you responsible for accidents if you are the only human in the car? If so, that's not fair!

This Unicorn Turns Out to Be Mythical After All

On Thursday, Out There reported on the case of Montana driver Phillip C. Holliday Jr., who blamed a unicorn for crashing his truck into a lamppost.

Well, it turns out that it wasn't a mythical one-horned beast behind the wheel after all.

County Attorney Dennis Paxinos told the Missoulian newspaper Wednesday that the prosecutor misunderstood an e-mail which referred to Holliday's "unicorn defense."

Prosecutors use the term to describe defendants who blame a mythical person for the crime, Paxinos told the paper.

“Mr. Holliday has other serious problems, but this is not one of them,� Paxinos said.

In actuality, Holliday told police that an unnamed woman was driving his truck when it crashed earlier this month. He has five drunken-driving convictions, according to the paper.

The legend of the Montana unicorn, while fanciful, remains just that, a myth.

“It’s a great story," Paxinos said. "It just isn’t correct.�
