Couch Riding Proves Dangerous

An annual ritual of riding a couch that is being towed behind a pick-up truck across a pasture proved to be a bad idea for three men early Sunday morning.

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department reported that at around 1:30 a.m. Joseph Schoeder, 21, Beldenville, was driving a Chevrolet pick-up truck across a pasture towing a couch.

"They do this every year," said Sheriff Nancy Hove, "It's kind of their fishing season opening weekend ritual, just that no one has gotten hurt before."

Hove would not say if alcohol was involved.
