COLUMBUS, OH (WCHS/CNN) - Police on the west side of the city were squealing with excitement after catching a loose pig Thursday afternoon.
Neighbors called police after they found the pig out in the cold in an apartment complex parking lot.
With the help of a bag of Rice Krispies, officers and humane society agents were able to surround the animal, but a ham-fisted attempt at capturing the pig led to its escape.
Officers were able to corner the pig again a short distance away.
The pig was loaded into the back of a police wagon so that it could get warm before humane society agents took it away.
Asked what the pig was charged with, officers responded, "hamicide."
