Tuscaloosa police dubbed the loitering stallion as "Ginuwine" after he showed an extreme unwillingness to cooperate with officers this week. They even "charged" him with criminal trespassing and resisting arrest, according to police's arrest log accompanied by the pony's mugshot.
He must have been interested in something other than the pizza crusts or peppermints that officers tried to bribe him with while hanging out in the Alberta neighborhood about 10 p.m. Monday.
