HIGHLIGHTS: A Nebraska man got pulled over Wednesday with a massive BULL riding shotgun in his car. He’d modified his old Ford Crown Vic to fit it. He got off with some warnings.
FULL STORY: You’re really gotta see this footage to appreciate how weird it is. But picture this: A guy in Nebraska got pulled over Wednesday morning . . . for driving down the highway with a LARGE BULL riding shotgun in his car. (???)
They weren’t in a truck. It was an old Ford Crown Victoria sedan from the ’90s that he modified, so the bull could ride in it. It actually looks like it used to be an old police cruiser. (Here’s a photo.)
It wasn’t a normal bull either. It was an African breed called a Watusi bull that have massive horns and weigh up to 1,600 pounds. The car’s shocks didn’t seem to have an issue though.
The driver’s name is Lee Meyer. He’s from a small town 30 miles from where he got stopped. Local police got a call about a car driving into town with a “cow” in it. So they expected it to be a calf, or something small.
He told them the bull’s name is Howdy Doody. And because of the positioning, the back-right portion of the car was covered in Howdy’s ACTUAL doody.
A sign on the side said it was judged the “Best Car Entry” at an event last month called Nebraska’s Big Rodeo Parade. So maybe he was just proud and wanted to show it off some more.
Police said they could have written him a ticket for several “citable issues.” For example, one of Howdy’s horns was hanging a good two feet off the side, and could have hit another car driving by.
But in the end, they decided to let him off with a warning, and told him to just take the bull home.
(Here’s a video. The “doody” shot is at 0:35.)
