Florida is often the setting for some truly odd news stories, and they have once again delivered the goods.
How about a herd of cows aiding police in making an arrest? Sure, no problem.
We’ve seen that American college graduate cosying up to her favourite alligator, but there seems to be a distinct lack of trust between these cows and a Seminole County crook who nicked an SUV.
This story is rife with pun opportunities, and Click Orlando didn’t hold back with their headline, “Florida woman udder arrest after cows herd her into custody”.
Their words, not mine:
Police said the driver, Jamie Young, 46, ran into a pasture to the east and the passenger, Jennifer Kaufman, ran into a cow pasture to the south of the crash…
Young was found hiding in some bushes and arrested with the help of K-9s, according to the report. However, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office aerial alert team continued to track Kaufman running through the cow pasture, where she would soon meet the bovines who would become her undoing.
In the aerial video recording, the pilot advised Sanford police “for a good visual” to look for the “large group of cows” chasing the suspect.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the drama unfold:
Makes a nice change from South Africa, where our politicians steal cows meant for poor farmers.
