Some quirky body cam video of an unusual police interaction is making the rounds on social media. And while the officer on duty clearly thinks the whole thing could go south at any moment, the goat arrest went more like a friendly local who had a few too many and decided to stumble home a bit too close to a busy road.
“Where do you live?”
The Little Elm Police Department in Texas just posted on Facebook the body cam footage of one of its officers who came upon a loose farm animal. The white-colored goat grazed casually at the end of a bustling intersection as the cop approached.
“Dude, hey…Goat…Where do you live?” The goat looks up with a mouthful of grass.
It takes a lot of verbal coaxing, but the officer is able to direct the goat over to his department-issued SUV. At first, the misplaced animal looks in the passenger front area. Much scolding and redirection follows, until the goat finally understands that it’s to hop into the back of the cruiser.
