Young culprits found with animal from Sibley Park zoo
MANKATO — A couple of young rustlers attempted to use their imagination to escape the long arm of the law Saturday, but after about an hour of story telling they eventually learned they’d made a baaaaad decision.
A Mankato resident called 911 at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday to report two very young girls, who turned out to be under the age of 10, were walking along Carney Avenue north of Riverfront Drive. They were in their pajamas and had a goat with them, the caller said.
~~~
They told the officer the goat belonged to them and they were just taking the animal for a late-night walk.
As the kid questioning continued, the girls kept stretching their tale.
The goat lives in their bedroom closet, they said. Mom bought it a couple weeks ago, but dad didn’t know about it. So they had to keep the goat thing quiet to keep dad from suspecting anything.

But it now seems the goat was never in the closet.
Well, it looks like the goat finally came out of the closet.
How come every time I see this story I hear the theme music for “Northern Exposure” playing in my head???

Pretty quick thinking for less than 10yo’s though. <:
To prove their story, they took the cops to their closet and all their clothes were in shreds.
The Star Tribune will soon have a story blaming Michele Bachmann for the goat being bullied and in the closet in the first place.
