Billy the kid jailed in Germany

Billy the kid is behind bars at a jail in Germany. The stubborn young goat was caught by cops in Bremen, Germany, after the animal blocked traffic by standing in the middle of a road crossing. The goat then led cops and locals on a chase across town when officers – called in by drivers – tried to catch it. It was eventually caught by police after several patrol cars had to be called in to help. But police have so far failed to find Billy’s owner despite its earmark. The only remarks on the arrest papers were "smells very bad". The goat is currently on bread and water at the local jail where one of the female officers is caring for him.
