Dubuque, Iowa I don’t know why, but I have always figured that being a cop in Dubuque would be rather dull. Think about it, Dubuque?
Well, I guess I have been proven wrong. Jerald Reiter, a 56-year-old Iowa man was arrested Sunday night after police caught him attempting to drive drunk with a zebra and a parrot riding shotgun in the seat next to him.
According to authorities, they noticed Reiter climbing into a truck parked at the Dog House Bar and attempted to operate the vehicle after they determined he was intoxicated.
The approaching officers found Reiter seated next to a zebra and a parrot.
Reiter told investigators that the animals were his pets and that the bar allows him to bring the animals inside when they are not serving food.
I suppose it was free entertainment for bar patrons, as some of them were taking photos of the animals. Of course, that was after one of them contacted police. Reiter disputed his arrest, telling officers that he was about to let a passenger drive his truck. However, it was unclear if it was going to be the parrot or the zebra.
Reiter was charged with driving under the influence. I am assuming the parrot and the zebra either found a new designated driver, or perhaps called a cab.
