An Idaho Falls man who apparently had a little too much to drink is facing a hefty fine and possible jail time for allegedly kicking a bison in the leg at Yellowstone National Park.
Clarence Yoder, 40, suffered minor injuries as a result of the altercation, but that’s the least of his problems. He was arrested and charged with being under the influence of alcohol to a degree that may endanger oneself, disorderly conduct as to create or maintain a hazardous condition, approaching wildlife and disturbing wildlife — each of which carry fines of up to $5,000 and six months in jail, ABC News has learned.
Yoder’s designated drunken driver, 37-year-old McKenna Bass, was also arrested and cited for DUI, interference for failure to yield to emergency light activation and disturbing wildlife, authorities tell ABC.
Who knows, they could even be sentenced to time with the bison — you know, just for kicks.
