Sam Smith, 40, who lives west of Sanford near State Road 46, said he tried to catch the 500-pound bull, which had recently been given to him by a neighbor, for about 3-4 hours Sunday before going home and making a plan to return for the animal at first light with someone who had experience roping cattle, the Orlando Sentinel reported Monday.

The bull was eventually captured after 12 hours on the loose when it was shocked twice with stun guns. Smith was contacted and arrested when he arrived at the scene. Smith was released after posting $300 bond.
