Officer's attempt to restrain stray billygoat fails

By Billie Owens

Didn't catch the location, but a law enforcement officer went on a mission a little while ago to catch a stray goat.

"I'll be out in the area attempting to wrangle a goat," he said.

A short time later, he says "Mr. Billygoat doesn't want to be wrangled today. Any other ideas?"

"Maybe someone could help you with a noose?"

"No, maybe a tranquilizer gun, but we don't have one."

"Maybe your partner could catch 'em?"

The outcome is unknown, so presumably the goat is still at large.

A brief YouTube search yielded this instructional video. Perhaps you should share it with the police department.

I believe it was on Jericho rd or pocock rd in Bergen! It was believed to be the same goat that went inside a house and attacked a women a few weeks ago
