NORFOLK, Neb. -- Around 10:00 a.m. Norfolk Police Division responded to a call of a man driving eastbound on 275 with a Watusi bull in his passenger’s seat.
“The officers received a call referencing a car driving into town that had a cow in it,” said Police Captain Chad Reiman. “They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle.”
And the vehicle was big enough… Well, technically.
“As a result, the officers performed a traffic stop and addressed some traffic violations that were occurring with that particular situation,” Reiman said.
The occupant of the vehicle was identified as Lee Meyer of Neligh. The Watusi bull’s name was Howdy Doody. Lee was immediately pulled over by Norfolk Police as they performed a routine traffic stop.
“The officer wrote him some warnings,” Reiman said. “There were some citable issues with that situation. The officer chose to write him a warning and ask him to take the animal back home and leave the city.”
Meyer and Howdy Doody are on their way back home and no one was hurt.
Ex-trooper told me he pulled a drunk guy over that had a pony in the back seat of his car, no bull.
And a whole lot of bull$#*+ on the car!
If the bull was wearing his seat belt then what’s the problem?
Look where the bull’s after parts are. The driver scared the sh*t out of the bull.
maybe he was leaning on the horn?
And I didn't know there was such a thing as a "bull riding shotgun". Have to get one for the next time I'm riding a bull.
The right rear quarterpanel is truly “soiled”; hope none of that got inside the car...
The bull should have goggles to protect the eyes while driving down the highway.
I’m wondering how the guy convinced the bull to climb up into the vehicle. Also, the bull-sheet dripping down the back of the white car is a nice touch. As is the sign on the side of the cattle gate.
It looks like the bull was a nervous passenger. :^)
He can spend the next 2 days trying to clean-up dried bullpoop, but replacing the soiled parts would be the best move. That stuff is as bad as baby ca-ca, which is like Velcro.
Pressure wash and its fine. Git er done.
The problem is it wasn’t wearing a seat-belt.
“Would I steer you wrong, officer?”
I wish Johnny Carson were still alive. He’d have milked this for a week, at least.
