BOULDER, Colo.—A 75-year-old SUV driver accused of harassing two cyclists in Boulder County by honking the horn at them almost continuously for several minutes has been sentenced to a year of probation.
The Daily Camera reports () James Ernst, of Erie, also will be required to undergo anger management and do community service. He pleaded guilty to two counts of harassment and two counts of improper use of a horn.
Ernst was arrested after the cyclists posted an online video of the SUV honking its horn at them last year. The Colorado State Patrol investigated, tracked the SUV to Ernst, and ticketed him.
Ernst told a judge Thursday that he hadn’t wanted to cross over a double yellow line on a narrow uphill road to get around the cyclists.
