Galesburg Man's Bull Barrels Into Peoria Home
PEORIA, Ill. (AP) -- He didn't have an invitation, or even ring the bell. But the beast that barreled through Sally Joyner's front door definitely left a mark.

Joyner heard a loud crash in her Peoria home and looked downstairs to find a full-grown bull in her foyer Saturday.

Joyner called her husband, who barely believed her. She called the Peoria County Sheriff's Department, pleading that she wasn't full of, well, bull.

The bull barged his way back outside after a short while. He left behind $1,500 in damage but didn't hurt anyone.

Police found the bull a short time later nearby. It isn't clear where he came from.

The police report says Gary Wessels of Galesburg was in charge of the bull when he escaped. When contacted, Wessels declined to elaborate.
