A drunk-driving arrest turned into an animal affair when two of the passengers that an intoxicated motorist was putting in harm's way was his pet zebra and macaw.

Police made the unusual arrest when a passerby reported seeing a zebra and a macaw sitting in a pick up truck parked outside the Doghouse Bar and Lounge in Ankeny, just outside Des Moines.

Local station WTVR reports that when the officers arrived on the scene, the car was being driven away by their owner, 55-year-old Jerald Reiter. Reiter tells KCRG.com that he and his girlfriend, Vickey Teters, see the animals like their kids and often take them for rides. On Sunday night, they say they took the zebra and the macaw to the bar because it often lets people bring their animals inside.

Reiter says the owner told him they were serving food that night and he couldn’t bring a zebra inside the bar. Bar owners tell KCRG.com that no animals are ever allowed inside the establishment.
he just got out of jail May 21!

Well he's a sandwich short of a picnic for certain.
