LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- A homeless man who police say tried to take a sheep from the Little Rock Zoo has been arrested on numerous charges. A security guard at the zoo called police Tuesday evening after spotting a man carrying a trash can with a sheep in it, a police report said.

When officers arrived Grady Allen Carnahan, 32, told them he was a doctor and the sheep was sick. He said he was taking the animal to a veterinary clinic, the report said.

Carnahan fought with officers as they were trying to take him into custody, police said.

He was arrested on a felony charge of violating an animal facility and on misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass, cruelty to animals, resisting arrest, and theft of property.

The animal was returned to its pen at the zoo.

The animal was returned to its pen at the zoo.

And hopefully, the sheep's facilities were still intact.

OK.

Don't want to buy a pig in a poke, how about a sheep in a trash can?

This shameful discrimination against the sheep-loving community has to stop immediately. Let's stage a big solidarity parade on Christopher's Sheep Day!

"Ya wouldn't be tryin' to pull the wool over our eyes, would ye?" the officers replied.

I think this episode began when someone told the guy to get the flock out of there.

Perhaps he is a displaced Ozzie, who had to make do with a garbage can, in lieu of a tucker bag:


Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water hole
Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee
And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me'".
