Spray-painted goats slip on vegetable oil

EUSTIS, Fla., June 9 (UPI) -- A group of Florida students could be facing criminal charges after two spray-painted goats were found clambering around a school in a puddle of vegetable oil.

Police said they are on the look out for as many as six Eustis High School students suspected of putting two stolen, spray-painted goats inside the school in the middle of the night as a senior prank, WFTV, Orlando, reported.

The culprits allegedly made sure to grease the floor with vegetable oil before taking off, causing the goats to lose their footing. Police say a security camera recorded footage of the suspects walking into the building.

"It's funny as long as they didn't endanger the animals or anything. As long as they don't hurt them ... I don't see anything wrong with it," sophomore student Shelbie Reilly said of the May 30 incident.

If caught, the suspects could be charged with burglary and criminal mischief, WFTV said.
