An Idaho man has been arrested after allegedly kicking a Yellowstone bison in the leg while drunk, park officials say.
Clarence Yoder, 40, of Idaho Falls, ended up injuring himself in the incident that happened near the park’s West Entrance on April 21, according to the National Park Service.
"Rangers responded to the area after receiving a report of an individual who harassed a herd of bison and kicked a bison in the leg," the NPS said in a statement. "They located the suspect's vehicle near the West Entrance and stopped it in the town of West Yellowstone, Montana."
"Yoder was arrested and charged with 1) being under the influence of alcohol to a degree that may endanger oneself, 2) disorderly conduct as to create or maintain a hazardous condition, 3) approaching wildlife, and 4) disturbing wildlife," park officials added.
The driver of the vehicle he was in, identified as McKenna Bass, 37, of Idaho Falls, also was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, interference for failure to yield to emergency light activation and disturbing wildlife.
Both Yoder and Bass pleaded not guilty to the charges – which can result in fines of up to $5,000 and six months in jail -- during a court appearance on April 22, according to the NPS.

Indeed sounds like Clarence Yoder been injured before it’s why he does what he does.
The beast in question had no comment.
No, Texas man would punch the bison while on meth.
Then shoot it.
I’m not sure why it was deleted.
Just a “Florida man” joke.
Although I didn’t have coffee when posted, so I could have mistyped something.
“Is the man an transplant to Idaho from another state?”
Nobody ever asks that when Florida Man does something.....and I promise you there’s more transplants in Fla. than Idaho so we’re not gonna start asking now.
