The Mounted Unit of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office caused an outcry earlier this week when they dressed up their horses as ghost.
An attempt by some Ohio sheriff’s officers to dress their horses up like “ghosts” for Halloween became more trick than treat for the department, when some residents complained they looked like the “Ku Klux Klan.”
“As the horses went down the street they were lit up for Halloween. To tell you the truth the community loved it, kids said they were great ghost horses,” Sheriff Leonbruno said.Once pictures of the costumes went up on Facebook, however, some residents were quick to point out the horses’ resemblance to how the KKK dressed their horses to match their own infamous white hoods and robes.
