Virginia police take a runaway sheep into custody after a "food pursuit"
A short, good-humored police post; the station's write-up keeps the puns intact.
Manassas Park, Virginia, police found a sheep grazing in a backyard near Nancy Street in the Blooms Crossing neighborhood on Oct. 28, WJLA reports. In a Facebook post, police said a "food pursuit" had led the animal into the yard and that it was taken into custody "safe and sound."
Officers joked that the sheep was "less than cooperative" but in good spirits, and that no charges have been filed despite a few outstanding "baaa-violations." The owner had not been identified, and police asked anyone missing a sheep to call the department.
