Washington, DC's nonvoting delegate to the House of Representatives did not release a small herd of zebras that have been running rampant across the capital's suburbs for a week, she claimed in a humorous statement released Friday.
Authorities were first alerted to six zebras that reportedly escaped a private Maryland farm 20 miles away from Washington on August 31.
Since then they've been spotted behind backyards and grazing in fields that are common in the rural area.
But on Friday, DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton wanted the world to know she had nothing to do with it.
In a statement headlined 'Norton Denies Responsibility for Setting Zebras Free, Supports Freedom Generally,' the Congresswoman revealed that 'a member of the public' had accused her of being the culprit.
DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton put out the statement on Friday after the zebras had been loose for about a week
