Deputies find goat in trunk at checkpoint
BEDFORD, Va., (UPI) -- Authorities in Virginia said they found a goat bound in the trunk of a car stopped at a drunken-driving checkpoint.
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office said a deputy heard knocking sounds coming from the trunk of a car being driven by Fiona Ann Enderdy, 32, of Washington at the Bedford County-Campbell County line checkpoint, the Lynchburg (Va.) News Advance reported Tuesday.
Deputies said Enderdy told deputies the sounds were coming from a goat and the animal was found panting heavily in the trunk. The sheriff's office said an animal control officer working at the checkpoint measured the temperature in the trunk at 94 degrees after it had already been open for 10 minutes.
The goat was given water and taken to the Bedford County pound, deputies said.
Enderdy, who was charged with cruelty to an animal and released, told deputies she purchased the goat from a farmer for the passengers in her car, four Lynchburg residents originally from Kenya.
