1) Underline all the action verbs in the excerpt:
University of Colorado police arrested a man who allegedly went on a drunken horseback ride through the city of Boulder this afternoon while carrying a dog in his backpack.
Police received calls about the strange trio at around 2:30 p.m., stated CUPD spokesman Ryan Huff. Witnesses said that they saw the horse and the rider occasionally wandering into traffic while going north on Broadway. Boulder police dispatchers also said they received reports of the man riding from as far as Table Mesa and Broadway.
CU police pulled over the horse on University Hill. They examined the man with a sobriety test and arrested him on suspicion of riding under the influence, explained Huff.

2) On the back side of the excerpt, write seven more action verbs that were not in the excerpt. 3) Define ‘linking verb.’
