(Lake Park)– You can lead a llama to a trailer, but you can’t make it go in. That was the scenario facing authorities Friday near Lake Park.
The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office and Lake Park police were called to the area of Highway Nine and 150th Avenue after getting reports of two horses and a llama running loose on the road. The two horses were cooperative and were loaded into the trailer. The llama, named Carl, proved to be a different story.
Authorities say Carl was in no mood to be ushered into a trailer or touched. He roamed the fields for quite some time, doing as he pleased. Just when officers thought Carl was running toward home, he became spooked by the large number of vehicles that had backed up on Highway nine and darted into a corn field.
Carl’s owner, Steve Hunter, decided to go to his house and return with one of the two horses he had just loaded onto the trailer. When Hunter road the horse into the field, Carl decided he had enough and followed Hunter and the horse back home.
