Loose pig leads deputies on chase around Ohio yard

Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Sheriff's deputies in Ohio had a tough time trying to wrangle a loose pig in a resident's yard and the unusual chase was recorded by body cameras.

Erie County Sheriff Paul Sigsworth said deputies responded to a report of a loose farm animal in a residential neighborhood Tuesday afternoon and arrived to find a 200-pound pig running loose.

"Once in a while we get a call on a loose cow, but this is the first time I can remember getting called for a large pig," Sigsworth told WJW-TV.

Body camera footage from the scene shows deputies chasing after the pig and attempting to entice it with apples.

The sheriff's office said the pig was eventually wrangled into a barn. Deputies were able to locate the animal's owner, who said the pig's name is Wilbur.
