32-year-old Michele Allen of Middletown, Ohio was arrested Saturday night and charged with chasing after children, blocking traffic and yelling at police, all while sporting a cow costume.

Officials said Allen “chased children” in the city’s 3100 block of Wilbraham Road and “urinated on a neighbor’s porch.” Police ordered Allen to go home and stay there, but around 11 p.m., they received a report that a woman in a cow costume was causing a disturbance in the 2400 block of North Verity Avenue.

Sure enough, when police arrived they found the rebellious bovine blocking traffic. When confronted, officials said Allen “had alcohol on her breath, slurred her words, was belligerent and swore at the officer.”

Allan pleaded guilty Monday in Middletown Municipal Court to one count of disorderly conduct. She was sentenced to a month in the County Jail where she will be forced to produce Velveeta and Cheez Whiz…well, where exactly did you think that stuff came from?
