Our police deal with a lot of “interesting” situations, but here’s something even they don’t see everyday, and it happened right outside of Denver…

Just after 11 p.m. on July 28, deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office were called to assist Colorado State Patrol with a car accident and DUI arrest, not uncommon… But what they found when they got there was much more odd.

The driver had an animal in the car with him, but not a dog or even a cat. Instead, a goat was riding along as the passenger. Thankfully, he was not injured in the crash.

Since the driver was arrested, deputies took “custody” of the goat and transported him to the Buddy Center in Castle Rock.
