MIDDLETOWN - A 32-year-old woman was sentenced to a month in the Middletown Jail Monday after she was arrested and charged with chasing children, blocking traffic and yelling at police - all while wearing a cow costume.

Michele Allen pleaded guilty Monday in Middletown Municipal Court to one count of disorderly conduct, court officials said.

Middletown police said she chased children in the 3100 block of Wilbraham Road and urinated on a neighbor's porch Saturday night. An officer ordered her to go home and stay there.

About 11 p.m., police were called to the 2400 block of North Verity Avenue after receiving a report that a woman in a cow costume was blocking traffic.

Allen had alcohol on her breath, slurred her words, was belligerent and swore at the officer, a report states.

WEST CHESTER – Maybe someone thinks he's a pig.

A suspicious envelope that prompted the evacuation of Congressman John Boehner’s local office turned out to be bacon, police said.

West Chester police officers, firefighters and the Butler County Bomb Squad were called to the office in the 7900 block of Cincinnati-Dayton Road around 4 p.m. Monday.

The office was evacuated for precautionary reasons and the bomb squad confiscated the envelope.

An x-ray later showed the envelope, which was believed to have been mailed from Georgia, contained bacon, police said.
