“I don’t know why he was doing it that day,” Reiman exclusively tells PEOPLE. “I asked him what kind of animal it was, where he lived, how far he came from, and those types of things. I talked to him about the violations that were occurring and that was pretty much the extent of our conversation."
“I can honestly say that I haven’t seen anything like that before,” he adds. “It was different, for sure. You’re not going to run across that every day.”
