Loose donkey gets 'field sobriety test' in Connecticut

Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Police in Connecticut joked a donkey was given a "field sobriety test" when it was found wandering loose in the rain.

The Waterford Police Department said in a Facebook post the donkey was found loose in the city and an officer held onto the animal's leash from inside a patrol car to guide the animal home because it was raining.

The post joked the donkey received a "field sobriety test" and was in training for the department's new "donkey patrol."

In reality, the donkey was reunited with its owner.
