A man and his pet goat napping in a pickup truck outside an adult store in Missouri were carjacked by a man on meth who drove them through parts of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma -- occasionally pistol-whipping the sleeping man, according to published reports.
Police said the sleeping man and the truck’s original driver stopped at an adult video store in Carthage, Mo. early Wednesday, KOTV reported. While the driver entered the store, the man and his pet goat remained in the truck and fell asleep.
As the passenger napped, police said 40-year-old Brandon Kirby jumped into the truck and drove off.
