WEST POINT, Miss. -- Pig tossing has the police stumped in West Point, Miss.

Kevin Pugh, 20, was fined $279 this week for tossing a 60-pound pig over the counter at the Holiday Inn Express on Nov. 12. West Point Police Lt. Danny McCaskill said, "It must be some redneck thing."

McCaskill said no one was hurt, including the pig. He said it's silliest thing he's ever seen.

Pugh pleaded guilty Tuesday in city court to a charge of disturbing the peace. There's no evidence intoxication was a factor. McCaskill said Pugh called the incident a prank.

It's the second recent pig throwing and fourth animal tossing incident in town. Two of the incidents involved opossum.

McCaskill said he's never heard of anything like it. Pugh is also accused in an animal throwing incident at a Hardee's restaurant.

He's pleaded not guilty and is due in court later this month.

As long as they didn't molest it, I'm cool.

Kevin's dad, Billy Bob Peeeww reportedly is very proud of his son for winning the Hawg Tossin' at the Hillbilly olympics. It seems that Kevin has never been able to impress the old man before now. The story has taken an unfortunate turn and Billy Bob is now calling (sewey) on Kevin to "Stop tossin' hawgs at folks"! "Some of em are my grandchildren"! Kevin, if you are listening you're father would appreciate it if you would just come on home and settle down with a family of you're own. He has recently acquired a beautiful Duroc/Hampshire cross that is waiting at home just for you.
