Feb. 20 (UPI) — Indiana police said a chase involving a “non-traditional” four-legged suspect ended with some “straight-up hog wrasslin’.”
The Richmond Police Department said on social media that a pair of officers were dispatched to assist animal control with a “non-traditional suspect,” a “potbelly pig on the run.”
“Officer Santiago arrived to help corral our four-legged fugitive, but this little guy wasn’t going down without a fight. Smarter than he looked and quicker than expected,” the post said.
“Then Officer Tyree pulled up. No negotiations. No snacks. Just straight-up hog wrasslin’,” police wrote.
The pig was secured and taken to be examined by a veterinarian.
“Not all heroes wear capes… some just know how to handle a pig,” the post said.
