this story is just loaded with comedic gold.
The wife of a prominent Montgomery County pastor told deputies that her husband was apparently killed by a goat he was trying to return to a fenced-in area near their state Highway 13 home, according to Montgomery County Sheriff's Office spokesman Chaplain Ted Denny.
The Rev. Liston Richardson, 76, pastor of Sunnyview Independent Missionary Baptist Church, was found dead by his wife, Lucille, after he didn’t return for some time, according to an incident report.
Mrs. Richardson told Deputy David Johnson she found her husband laying on the ground — the rope used to tie the goat wrapped around Mr. Richardson's neck and feet. She said she noticed he wasn't breathing, but when she tried to get near her husband, the goat tried to attack her.
"It was a tragic accident," said Denny, who knew Mr. Richardson. "He was a wonderful man of God."
The goat was later shot, Denny said.
