UPDATE: According to the Columbus Dispatch
Did someone steal a trailer full of horses from the Ohio Expo Center?
Or did a grumpy owner just not want to wait to head home?
Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers are looking for a guy who left the
Quarter
Horse Congress at 11:25 this morning with about 11 horses in a trailer.
Security there verifies that everyone leaving the Expo Center is
taking home horses that actually belong to them, said Highway Patrol Sgt. Levente Berry. One guy
apparently didn’t want to wait.
“The gentleman came by with a trailer full of horses and they asked
for his information to get a release, and he was kind of disgruntled and rude, and maybe just
having a bad day,” Berry said.
The man told security he didn’t want to wait, and took off.
“He said they’ll see him next year,” Berry said.
Highway patrol notified area agencies that they’re on the lookout for
the driver, to verify that the horses are actually his.
