According to the Glastonbury Police Department, the horse was safely returned and will not be horsing around anytime soon.

Facebook users chimed into the fun on the department’s post, commenting hilarious and punny phrases like, “Was he held on ‘bale’?” and “Cited for ‘Reckless Use of a Highway by an Equestrian.'”
