Drunk man arrested for kicking bison at Yellowstone National Park in US

The Yellowstone National Park in the US witnessed a bizarre and dangerous incident when an inebriated man decided to confront a bison. According to officials from the National Park Service (NPS), the man’s encounter with the bison took a violent turn when he kicked the animal, resulting in an injury to himself.

Clarence Yoder, 40, from Idaho, decided to go through with his daring act near the Seven Mile Bridge, located about seven miles east of the park's West Entrance.

Park rangers responded to reports of a man harassing a herd of bison. The situation escalated when Yoder kicked one of the bison, causing injury to his own leg during the reckless encounter, as confirmed by NPS officials. The incident occurred on April 21 and led to immediate actions by authorities to address the behaviour.

Yoder was traveling in a vehicle with McKenna Bass, 37, who was later arrested alongside Yoder. Bass faced charges of driving under the influence, failure to yield, and disturbing wildlife. Yoder was charged with being under the influence of alcohol to an extent that endangered himself, disorderly conduct creating hazardous conditions, and approaching and disturbing wildlife.
