WESTPORT, Conn., June 9 (UPI) -- Police in Westport, Conn., said a teenager and her father have been charged with breach of peace after the student brought her pony to school.
Staples High School junior Sarah Friedson, 17, said she walked her pony, Cocoa, to school on the last day of classes Friday partly as a prank and partly to protest the high price of gasoline, the Hartford (Conn.) Courant reported Monday.
Westport police said Friedson and her father, Ronald, 50, who was following the pony in his car, were arrested after they ignored warnings from school administrators and a security guard to keep the pony off of school grounds.
The elder Friedson said school administrators overreacted by calling police.
"It's a fat old pony," he said. "He looks like something out of a cartoon. The only danger is if you're a carrot."
