What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Athens County Sheriff's Office put out its weekly police blotter, and this week it has cows in the road, a possible breaking and entering, and a weird raccoon.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's Athens County, Chip. The Post runs it as a weekly blotter.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorExactly, and that's my point. A weekly blotter, loose animals, one raccoon with a reputation. Spiritually Florida.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe cows have been in past editions too. Honestly, that's just a very consistent sheriff's office.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe cows keep coming back to the road. I assume their statement is, we were just passing through again.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA raccoon described only as weird, in a police report. In Florida that's a Tuesday. In Athens County it's the lead.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOhio is only one beach away from Florida, and the cows are already on the road to it.
