This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesday we have some animal-themed stories, starting in North Carolina, where cows guided the police to a hiding suspect, police in Oklahoma mistake an upset goat for a person in distress and in Colorado a man tried to blame his dog for his crazy driving!
Follow the jump for more of this week’s weirdest and wackiest cases from around the globe!
Mooving Tales
Brace yourselves for a wild ride through the fields of North Carolina where the authorities received some unexpected assistance in their relentless pursuit of a suspect, and it wasn’t your usual K-9 unit.
The Boone Police Department was doing a routine traffic stop when the suspect decided to make a daring escape. He ditched his car and fled on foot into an undeveloped area, leaving the officers in the dust.
Some unlikely heroes came to the rescue—cows! Yes, you heard that right, cows! In fact, they actually guided the police directly to the suspect’s hiding spot.
With the suspect captured and justice served the Boone Police Department couldn’t resist cracking a few jokes. They even pondered the idea of recruiting more crime-fighting cows.
Hats off to those brave cows and their crime-fighting antics!
Baa-d Calls and Goat Laughs
Get ready for a goat-tastic tale that takes places in Enid, Oklahoma, where the local police recently found themselves caught up in a hilariously wrong call.
Picture this: the brave officers of Enid were strolling through a peaceful, grassy farm, following the faint cries in the distance. Their hearts raced with anticipation, as they believed they were about to rescue someone in desperate need. One officer turned to the other, exclaiming, “That’s a person!”
But hold your horses—well, goats, in this case—because things took an unexpected turn. As they got closer, the cries started to sound less human and more… well, goat-like. And lo and behold, what awaited them was not a person in need, but a goat!
Turns out, the farmer had taken one of his male goats out of the barn, and well, it wasn’t exactly thrilled about the situation.
And what did the police department have to say about this whole goat fiasco? Well, they summed it up perfectly in their own witty way: “You really can’t say it was that baaad of a call.”
So, the next time you hear faint cries in the distance, take a moment to consider if it might just be a melodramatic goat.
Barking Mad
For our last story of this week, we’re heading to Colorado, where a driver’s hare-brained scheme to avoid arrest took a rather unconventional twist involving his four-legged companion.
The driver was speeding down the road, and when an officer finally pulled him over, the driver started pulling off some mind-boggling maneuvers inside the car. Instead of calmly stepping out of the driver’s side, the man decided to hop out of the passenger side, as if trying to prove that dogs really can drive!
It was clear as day that the driver, despite his furry accomplice, was showing all the classic signs of being completely inebriated. He tried to run from the officer, but due to his intoxicated state, he was caught right away.
The driver was charged with driving under the influence, driving while impaired, and he also had previous warrants for his arrest. Let this be a lesson, that when facing the consequences of your actions, trying to switch places with your dog is just barking mad.
