Police impound Pacho the Donkey after motorcycle crash
By The Associated Press
(3/09/05 - BOGOTA, Colombia) — The suspect was a little long in the face after being arrested, but is braying for an early release.
Police said Tuesday they detained the suspect, a donkey named Pacho, after a motorcycle crashed into it on a road in a northeastern city, with the motorcyclist suffering serious injuries.
"When there are road accidents and serious injuries, the vehicles involved are always impounded," said Diana Rojas, spokeswoman for the Arauca city police department. "We had to impound both the donkey and the motorcycle and put them at the disposal of investigators so they can decide what to do with them and whether to release them."
Pacho's owner, Nelson Gonzalez, said no one should pin the blame on the donkey for Sunday's crash.
"Neither the donkey nor I were responsible because I was in front and the motorcyclist saw me" before crashing, Gonzalez said.
I knew she had at least two mules.
