"Charges of misdemeanor battery and driving within a parkway were filed against Barry Anderson, the Benny the Bull mascot. Police said Anderson, in his bright red bull costume, threw a punch at a sheriff's deputy on July 2, knocking off his glasses and breaking his watch."
All of this happened at the Taste of Chicago this summer. Apparently Benny was riding a mini motorcycle through the Taste without a permit and allegedly a fistful of vodka (when I say allegedly, I mean I'm making that up) when an off-duty cop tried to stop him.
Benny took off running (thinking he could just blend into the crowd, I'm sure) but ultimately was caught and charged.
When reached for questioning about today's decision, Benny had this to say:
Benny then did a two backflips before finishing with the splits and twirling a basketball on his finger."Today is yet another great day in the American justice system. The innocent have been set free from the shackles of society's most arcane of laws. I stand before you today a free mascot and a free man. Go Bulls!"
