A man has been arrested in connection to a bizarre incident caught on camera showing a bison being egged on in Yellowstone National Park earlier this week.
Officials said in a statement Friday that 55-year-old Raymond Reinke was arrested Thursday after 香蕉视频直播渉e was captured on video harassing a bison,香蕉视频直播� along Hayden Valley.
In a video posted online by tourist , a bison can be seen holding up traffic as he stands in the middle of a two-way road.
That香蕉视频直播檚 when a man wearing a blue T-shirt and shorts steps in.
At first it appears the man is directing the bison to the side of the roadway. But then the man hits his chest with his fists, seemingly taunting the large animal.
The bison then charges the man.
香蕉视频直播淥h God. Oh God. I can香蕉视频直播檛 watch it,香蕉视频直播� Jones can be heard saying in the video, before turning the camera away as the bison nears the man.
People from other vehicles can be heard yelling, and when the camera focuses back on the confrontation, the man is still standing on the road unscathed.
Shortly after that, the pair walk in separate directions.
香蕉视频直播淣ow he香蕉视频直播檚 mad, now he香蕉视频直播檚 going to be mad,香蕉视频直播� Jones says as the bison walks in the direction of the truck she is in.
The video has been viewed more than 7.4 million times as of Saturday.
According to Yellowstone National Park officials, Reinke, a resident of Pendleton, OR had been travelling to multiple national parks over the past week.
On July 28, he was first arrested by law enforcement rangers at Grand Teton National Park for a drunk and disorderly conduct incident, Wenk said.
Then Reinke headed to Yellowstone, where he was first stopped for a traffic violation where he 香蕉视频直播渁ppeared to be intoxicated and argumentative,香蕉视频直播� and was cited for not wearing a seat belt.
香蕉视频直播淚t is believed that after that traffic stop, Reinke encountered the bison,香蕉视频直播� park officials said.
National park Supt. Dan Wenk called the behavior in the video reckless, dangerous and illegal.
