Man with crossbow arrested while picking psychedelic mushrooms"He told deputies that the weapons were for protection in case the cows in the pasture came at him." Well, at least he came prepared.
MANATEE COUNTY - A 19-year-old Manatee County man was arrested Friday after he was found in a cow pasture collecting psychedelic mushrooms while carrying a crossbow, theManatee County Sheriff’s Office said.
Jeffery Moore and three others were spotted by a Manatee County Sheriff’s helicopter in a cow pasture in the 2400 block of 38th Avenue East. According to the sheriff’s report, Moore was seen lying face down in an attempt to conceal himself from the helicopter’s spotlight.
Moore was found holding a small crossbow and sling shot. He told deputies that the weapons were for protection in case the cows in the pasture came at him. Moore also told deputies that he was in the pasture collecting mushrooms for drug consumption.
Moore faces charges in the armed trespassing.
Dedicated to the premise that life would be better if we all took ourselves a little less seriously.
I saw a Cops episode once where an officer actually drew his weapon in case the cow made a move on him.
ReplyDeleteI think we underestimate the domesticated ungulates.
i like the fact that he was going to use the slingshot first, as a deterrent, and THEN, only if he had to-- would he use the crossbow. Greasetruck has a new song.
