Rhode Island Police Catch Donkey While Hunting Elusive Goat

Glocester Police officers captured a loose donkey Friday while searching for an elusive goat that has evaded authorities since September. The goat broke into a local home last week, prompting officers to respond. “Officers arrived and caught him red-hooved inside the home, but the suspect was faster than us and made his getaway out the back door and back into the woods,” police stated on social media. During their weeks-long hunt for the goat, officers discovered the donkey “casually strolling down the middle of Chopmist Hill Road.” The Glocester Police Department clarified the animals are unrelated, posting “Don’t worry, this is not to be confused with the fugitive goat that we’ve been chasing recently. Different animal entirely.” The goat remains at large despite ongoing efforts to capture it. (Story URL)
