Trucking news and briefs for Monday, Sept. 23, 2019:
Things to remember if you ever have a camel sit on top of you
Strange things were afoot at the Tiger Truck Stop along I-10 in Grosse Tete, La., reported the Baton Rouge Advocate, when a couple and their dog found their ways past clearly visible signs warning them to keep out into the enclosure housing Caspar, a dromedary that moved in at the truck-stop site following the death of Tony, the longtime Bengal tiger resident.
As wrote Advocate reporters Josh Axelrod and Youssef Rddad, the woman of the pair had entered the enclosure to attempt to retrieve her dog, who’d squeezed under fencing surrounding Caspar. Reportedly somewhat aggressive in her interactions with the camel, the woman then found herself being sat on by the animal.
She had a solution for that, as Axelrod and Youssef Rddad reported: “She said, … ‘I bit his testicles to get him off of me,’” Iberville Parish Deputy Louis Hamilton Jr. said.” The woman and her husband were cited for a leash-law violation as well as criminal trespass.”
