“My alibi is solid," said the Democratic lawmaker. “I hope the owners find the zebras and that all involved live long, full lives."
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) on Friday denied responsibility for setting six zebras free in a D.C. suburb, but said she wished them well. “Local news has reported that the zebras were let loose on Saturday or Sunday of last weekend, a period of time during which I was enjoying quiet time at home with family,” Norton said in a statement. “My alibi is solid.” The D.C. delegate was referring to reports last weekend that zebras were roaming freely in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The zebras ― it’s unclear whether it was five or six ― escaped from a privately owned farm permitted to keep them.More Related News
