Goat Found In Woman’s Trunk

Authorities said a regional drunken-driving checkpoint led to the discovery of a goat, bound and shoved in the trunk of a car. The Bedford Sherriff’s Office in Bedford, Virginia, said the car, driven by a 32-year-old woman, pulled up to the checkpoint on Friday when deputies heard bizarre noises coming from the trunk. When asked what was in the trunk, the woman said she bought a goat from a farmer to give to the four passengers in her car, who are from Kenya but live in Lynchburg. The goat was panting heavily and animal control officers said the temperature in the trunk was around 95 degrees. The woman told officers she is from the United Kingdom and transporting goats in a trunk is normal there. She was charged with cruelty to an animal and released.
