There was a wild situation in Gloucester County on Tuesday as police officers got a call about an escaped pig.
Deptford police officers were called to Tanyard Road and Brenner for reports of a wayward swine.
“Through the use of de-escalation techniques and the latest technology, officers were finally able to apprehend the suspect,” police joked in a social media post.
The 4-year-old pig is named “Albert Einswine” and apparently escaped from the New Sharon section of the town.
