Upon arrival, Officer Hook found the bull and rider in the lot of the Tractor Supply Co. located in the 2500 block of W State St.
“I have so many questions,” Officer Hook can be heard saying in body-worn camera footage included on the post.
The owner of the bull, who is named ‘Gus,’ offered to let Officer hook ride the bull.
“I’m alright right now. If I get on Gus and I fall off Gus, then I’m going to get in trouble,” Officer Hook can be heard saying.
But within a couple of minutes, Officer Hook climbed up onto the bull and posed for a picture.
The bull and his owner were in town, passing through for the rodeo in Columbiana.
