| DUI Checkpoint Uncovers Goat In Trunk Of Car |
The debate over the constitionality of DUI checkpoints has taken a new twist. A recent DUI checkpoint in Beford County, Virginia surveyed nearly 15,000 cars resulting in three (3) DUI arrests and a drug bust. It also surprisingly resulted in the rescue of a goat. According to the News Advance in Lynchburg, Bedford County authorities pulled over 32 year old Fiona Ann Enderdy and inquired about strange noises coming from her trunk. Fearing a human might be trapped inside, officers were startled to find a goat, bound at the feet and thrashing about inside the trunk. Ms. Enderdy, a transport from Great Britain, replied that the goat was a gift from a local farmer and that it is perfectly acceptable to transport a goat in the trunk of a car in Great Britain. Fortunately, an animal control expert was at the checkpoint to care for the goat, who appeared to be dehydrated and was sent to the pound for further care. Ms Enderdy, however, was not so fortunate as she was arrested and sent to jail after being charged with animal cruelty.
