A 19-year-old Manatee County man was arrested when he was found in a cow pasture collecting psychedelic mushrooms while carrying a crossbow, HeraldTribune.com reports.

   Jeffery Moore and three others were spotted by a Manatee County sheriff’s helicopter in a cow pasture, lying face down in an attempt to conceal himself from the helicopter’s spotlight.

   Moore told deputies that a small crossbow and sling shot were for protection in case the cows in the pasture came at him. Moore also told deputies that he was in the pasture collecting mushrooms for drug consumption.
