NM: Rustlers stuff calf in backseat of Honda Civic

A calf riding in the backseat of a Honda Civic led to the arrest of three men for alleged cattle rustling in Luna County. The sheriff's office arrested the men last Friday when a deputy pulled over a Honda Civic and saw a 220-pound calf sharing the backseat with one of the alleged thieves. The Carlsbad Current Argus reports the men were arrested on suspicion of larceny of livestock, conspiracy, lack of a bill of sale and exporting livestock. The larceny and conspiracy charges are felonies. The three were booked into the Luna County Detention Center. AP

This may have been more of a misunderstanding. It may not have been rustling...or even a kidnapping. It may have been more of a simple 'date' and they were going to take her home after the party.
