      The story about “Carl Twinly” is a work of fiction. However, the mugshot shown above is real. It was taken in 2008 and shows a woman who was arrested in Middleton, Ohio. According to Fox 19, she had been hired to dress up as a cow to promote a local haunted trail. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after she allegedly got drunk, chased some children, and interrupted traffic.

      Fox 19 reported: “A Middletown woman is behind bars, charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cow suit … Police say Michelle Allen was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. She’s also accused of urinating on a neighbor’s front porch.”

        The weirdest thing about this to me is “promote a local haunted trail.” How shitty and not-haunted is your haunted trail that you need someone in a cow suit to promote it?

        The rest of it is a no brainer. Obviously if I’m in a cow suit, I’m getting drunk and pissing on your porch. Nothing weird about that.
