A man in Norfolk, Nebraska shocked motorists and police officers alike when he was pulled over for driving with a full-grown Watusi bull sitting in the passenger seat of his car. The incident occurred on Route 275, and police received a 911 call about the unusual sight.

The driver, identified as Lee Meyer, has been known for driving in parades with his pet bull, named Howdy Doody. Meyer's car, a modified Ford Crown Victoria sedan, had the windshield and roof removed to accommodate the bull, while a yellow metal cattle gate served as the passenger side door. Longhorns were also attached as a hood ornament.

Norfolk Police Capt. Chad Reiman stated that officers were surprised when they saw the bull riding shotgun in the car. A video of the traffic stop was recorded and quickly spread online.

While Meyer had previously transported the bull in a trailer, it remains unclear why he decided to load Howdy Doody into his car and drive over 30 miles from his home to Norfolk. Police issued warnings to Meyer and instructed him to take the bull home and leave the city.

This incident is reminiscent of the Outerbridge Cowboy case in 2016, where a man rode a horse across the Outerbridge Crossing in Staten Island.
