NORTH RIDGEVILLE, OH (WBTW) – Police in Ohio received an unusual call Saturday morning from a man claiming he was being followed while walking home from a train station. The man was being followed by a pig – yes, a pig – and he didn’t know what to do.
The North Ridgeville Police Department assumed they were responding to a drunk who was walking home from a bar when they got the 5:26 a.m. phone call. Officers assumed they were responding to a guy who was “at least drunk enough to call the police on himself while hallucinating.”
But when they arrived, officers found a “very sober male” walking home from an Amtrak station being following by a pig.
“Ptlm. Kuduzovic managed to wrangle (I think this is the correct word to use) said pig into his cruiser and he is currently secured in our pig pens…..er, dog kennels. Whatever,” the department posted to Facebook.
And for anyone hoping to make a joke about the officers housing a pig…
“Also, we will mention the irony of the pig in a police car now so that anyone that thinks they’re funny is actually unoriginal and trying too hard,” continues the Facebook post.
Within a couple of hours the pig, whose name was never released, was returned to its owner.
