In a scene that caused many a hobo to look at their bottle of booze, say “I gotta quit drinkin’!”, go cross-eyed and pass-out, a magical little Shetland pony that I'm naming Pequeño and his friendly woodland pals staged a daring heist in the city’s downtown district as the city slept early Friday morning.

Police and animal control were alerted to the presence of Pequeño around 4:30 a.m., leading to a stand-off that lasted nearly 15 minutes as OKCPD officers bumbled about, often times running into each other head-first and landing face-down in fresh horse manure, to which they wiped out of their eyes and proclaimed “I’mma gonna get that li'l horse!”
