Man driving with bull in car pulled over in Nebraska

NORFOLK, Neb. -- Police in Nebraska pulled over a driver with an unusual passenger, a full-sized watusi bull named Howdy Doody.

The Norfolk Police Division responded to a call of a man driving east on Route 275 with a watusi bull in his passenger seat, News Channel Nebraska reported.

"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," Capt. Chad Reiman said.

And the vehicle was big enough -- technically.

No one was hurt.
