Police catches 'fugitive' goat

JUNEAU: Alaska State Troopers, the state police agency, claimed to have captured a ‘fugitive’ goat that had managed to dodge law enforcers for over 24 hours.

In a Facebook post, the state police agency on Tuesday said that two police officers McKenney and Lemay spotted the ‘very fast goat’ running alongside a highway in the area. The police officers, in collaboration with the passers-by captured the fugitive goat.

Earlier in a Facebook post, Fairbanks Animal Control had shared a picture of the goat and urged the animal’s owner to come forward and help capture the ‘very fast goat’. The authority had said the goat was successfully dodging the law enforcement.

The officials said that they were making efforts to handover the animal to its real owner.

Earlier on October 16, Monty the ball python, who went missing in June, had finally been found in his owner’s basement.

Monty had been missing since June and the family was getting ready to post his terrarium online for sale when the snake decided to come out of hiding.

Owner Samantha Sannella had told media that he had been hiding out in the family’s basement for months. Sannella’s son had discovered the snake on Thanksgiving while opening a cupboard in the basement of the family’s Toronto home.
