‘I just like pigs’: Cops say nude man found drinking in barn
MILLERSVILLE, Pa.
Police have charged a man with trespassing, public drunkenness and indecent exposure after he was caught on a neighbor’s Pennsylvania farm in the nude, drinking beer among pigs.
Police in Manor Township, Lancaster County, say 64-year-old Larry Henry told them, “I just like pigs” when they found him in the hog barn June 26 about 10:15 p.m.
Henry faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 4. His defense attorney didn’t immediately return a call for a comment Wednesday.
Arrest papers show Henry had been banned from the farm since he got caught trespassing four years ago.
Police say Henry smelled of alcohol and acknowledged drinking a six-pack of beer while hanging out with the hogs.
Police say the brand of beer was in keeping with the overall theme. Henry was drinking Hamm’s.
Polish cow on the run for 2 years finally is caught
WARSAW, Poland
Matylda finally moo’ved back home.
The cow escaped from her Polish farm two years ago and lived a life on the lam in a nearby forest, sometimes damaging crops. She finally has been caught.
Owner Leszek Zasada spoke about his adventure with the brown cow in a story broadcast Tuesday by the all-news station TVN24.
He said Matylda escaped in 2013 from his farm in Zloty Stok, in western Poland, the day after he brought her home.
She survived two frigid winters on her own, but the time on the run took its toll. She lost the calf she sometimes was spotted with and returned home with many scars.
Farmers in the area complained of the damage she caused, but nobody was able to catch her until last Saturday.
South Texas farmer uses mowed field for proposal
PORTLAND, Texas
A South Texas farmer with friends who take him to high places asked his girlfriend to marry him by mowing his proposal into a field.
The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports Ruston Smith has a pilot friend who flew him and his girlfriend over the field.
Smith, who’s a 22-year-old farmer from Beeville, arranged to use a plane belonging to his rancher boss and a grassy field on the owner’s property.
Kobi Sliva of Sinton said “yes” Saturday when she saw the field near Portland mowed with the message “Marry Me.” The 21-year-old Texas A&M University student says she was in shock to see such a proposal, which she says took a lot of thought.
Smith says he decided to do something special for his girlfriend of six years.
