CORVALLIS, Ore. - For at least the eighth time since September 2004, an Oregon State University football player has been arrested.

OSU junior defensive tackle Ben Seigert has been arrested, for among other things, stealing a Ram from the university sheep center early Friday morning.

The latest arrest is among the strangest Benton County deputies have faced.

"(The deputy) saw something pop up in the back of the pickup when he was pulling the vehicle over, and after he approached the vehicle (the Ram) popped up again, sort of startling him," says Benton County Undersheriff Diana Simpson. "I don’t recall too many incidents of animals taken from OSU."

6. Oh man,

It gets even better:

The ram lives at the research facility on 35th Street near Campus Way and is part of a study on homosexuality in sheep, said Sheep Center manager Tom Nichols.

It probably weighs about 200 pounds, he said, and it likely took both men to get the ram into the bed of the pickup.

"I'm sure it wasn't an easy job," Nichols said.

Sheep rustling, it seems, is not uncommon at OSU.

"We have at least one prank a year where we have to go to a dormitory or a sorority house and pick up a ram or a lamb or a ewe," Nichols said. "It's one of those springtime pranks."
