Police: Pig Poses Like Person For Picture

On Thursday, police in Shelby Township, Michigan apprehended a loose pig, WXYZ Detroit reports. Here is a photo of that pig looking like a person. What a ham!
Debbie DeRiemaecker was doing yard work when the pig confronted her, she told WXYZ. “It chased her into the front yard before getting distracted by a decorative ball,” the ABC affiliate reports. DeRiemaecker called 911, and more pigs showed up. Haha, just kidding—the police came.
The arresting officer took the photograph above, which, naturally, Shelby police posted to Facebook.
According to the Detroit News, the pig’s owner picked up his wayward animal at the police station, and offered to clean out the cruiser, in which a mess—poop—had been made.
“Just when you think you’ve seen it all ... ,” 25-year law-enforcement veteran Deputy Chief Mark Coil said. “I’ve seen pigs at large, dogs at large, monkeys at large, parakeets at large, horses at large. For some odd reason Shelby Township is like Noah’s ark.” Don’t we know it.
