Rangers arrested the man and the driver of the vehicle he was found in on multiple charges related to wildlife endangerment and intoxication.
The National Park Service said Monday that the incident happened on the afternoon of April 21, when 40-year-old Clarence Yoder disobeyed the park’s warnings of keeping at least 25 yards away from large animals like bison, elk and deer.
Yoder was arrested and charged with being under the influence of alcohol to a degree that may endanger oneself, disorderly conduct as to create or maintain a hazardous condition, approaching wildlife, and disturbing wildlife, according to NPS. Yoder had sustained minor injuries from his attack on the bison. Rangers transported him to a nearby medical facility where he was treated and released. He was then transported to the Gallatin County Detention Center.
