Pigs Fly, Cops Hog-Tie Suspect

Forget high-speed pursuits. The Richmond PD just had to get down and dirty with a suspect who refused to pull over. The perp? A large, uncooperative pig on the lam.

Officers responded to calls about a “non-traditional” suspect causing chaos. This wasn’t a stolen car… it was a full-on porker on the run. The chase didn’t involve sirens, but it did require some serious farmyard skills. We’re talking a hoof-pounding sprint that ended with what the department brilliantly called “straight-up hog wrasslin’.”

No word on what the pig was running from. A bad mud bath? An overdue appointment at the bacon factory? Either way, the cops brought home the bacon. Literally.

The real question is… who gets the citation? And does the pig get a court-appointed squealer?
