Police in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, recently received an unusual call about a stray pig.
The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office described the adventure in a March 13 Facebook post, noting the irony of officers being called to help capture the pig.
“Ah, this is ironic,” the Facebook post said, adding, “There will be a lot of photos (and maybe videos) on the Ole Face app, but we hope we can make a joke out of it.” I want to get ahead of the curve.”
