NORFOLK, Neb. – A man in Nebraska was pulled over earlier this week after police got reports that someone was driving down the highway with an unusual passenger.

The passenger actually ended up being a fully grown Watusi bull named Howdy Doody who was riding shotgun in a modified sedan Wednesday morning on eastbound Highway 275.

“Well, the officers received a call reference, a car driving into town that had a cow in it. They thought that it was going to be, you know, like a calf, something smaller, something that actually fit inside the vehicle,” Norfolk Police Department Captain Chad Reiman told News Channel Nebraska.

The driver, Lee Meyer, was pulled over for a traffic stop and an officer wrote him a warning before asking Meyer to take Howdy Doody back home.
