PANAMA CITY — Tuesday afternoon drifted into evening just like any other day in Florida, a steady rain falling, commuters headed home, and a man in what appeared to be bright yellow underwear walking his goat along East Avenue near U.S. 231.

"What (expletive deleted) did I just witness?" wrote one woman on Facebook after sharing a videotape of the unknown man and his goat. "Dude is in his underwear, straw hat, playing a harmonica and walking a goat on a leash down East Avenue."

"I'm not kidding, he's walking a dang goat through the parking lot," said Hoot Crawford, a local defense attorney who sent The News Herald one of the pictures accompanying this story. "I don't know where he's going, but it's a goat, I'm serious!"

Another man on Facebook wrote about his encounter with the goat man, saying, "While on my way to the beach I saw this guy in bright yellow underwear, which did nothing but accentuate his package, a straw hat and shoes walking a big ass Billy goat down Hwy 231 just North of Panama City Florida. He wasn't just walking either, he had a strut with a bit of a sashay."

As odd as all that may sound, remember, this is Florida and Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford said they did not recall anyone reporting the man as doing anything odd.

However, the sight of him in his bright yellow shorts/bathing suit/undies by a sheriff's deputy was enough to cause the deputy to check out the situation over the weekend, Ford reported after checking with his office.

"A deputy did get out with him and he is of sound mind, I guess as sound of mind as you can be walking a goat," Ford said. "I think he's getting exactly what he wanted, attention.

"It's baaaaaaad."

It is unknown from where goat man came or to where he was headed, but if you've seen him let us know.
