After locals saw this bizarre sight cruising all over Norfolk, the police were swiftly called, and surprisingly, the officers let both the man and his unusual vehicle go free.

From News Channel Nebraska:
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.
I mean, you can get a ticket just for a single broken headlight. How in the world did the police not issue a citation against this vehicle?
Perhaps the chuckle these cops got was enough to let him off the hook.
