A brazen pig trotting through a Washington neighborhood led police on a wild chase that was captured on body-cam footage.
Officers were called to wrangle the wild porker, who they later nicknamed ‘Notorious P.I.G’, in a real-life farmyard frenzy through the Tacoma neighborhood earlier this month.
Hilarious body-cam footage released by the Tacoma Police Department showed responding officers and residents attempting to catch the loose swine, who was also described in the video as being ‘non-compliant’.
But the oinking suspect managed to dodge dozens of capture attempts with astonishing ability.
The video captured several officers chasing the piglet as it ran down side streets, darted through residential yards and squeezed under fences – successfully escaping any attempts to be grabbed and secured.
‘We have eyes on the pig,’ an officer can be heard saying in the footage. ‘It is now trespassing.’
Notorious P.I.G was cornered into a side yard where he was finally captured after an intense standoff and taken into the back of a police squad car as he yelped for his freedom.
The unharmed piggy was eventually transported to The Rusty Bar Ranch, an animal sanctuary in Washington, along with another rescue pig, where they were said to have been members of the S.W.I.N.E gang – but ultimately agreed to give up their affiliation after arriving in the new home.
