I haven't seen this story posted, a man was driving his car with his bull riding shotgun, whose name is 'Howdy Doody':
Some police officers in Nebraska recently had the weirdest traffic stop ever ― and that’s no bull.
Sorry, actually, there was a bull ― and it was riding shotgun in a car along Route 275 near Norfolk Wednesday morning, News Channel Nebraska reported.
“They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle,” Captain Chad Reiman told News Channel Nebraska.
Instead, they saw “Howdy Doody,” a full-size Watusi bull owned by Lee Meyer of Neligh.
Reiman said the officers carried out a traffic stop and “addressed some traffic violations that were occurring with that particular situation.”
Meyer was only given a warning — not a moooving violation — and asked to take Howdy Doody back home and out of the city.
Howdy Doody is a celebrity in his home town, often appearing at parades. But the bull’s fame apparently hadn’t reached Norfolk at the time of his joyride, according to Meyer’s wife, Rhonda Meyer.
