The story of ‘low-speed’ foot pursuit of cops for a pony was posted on Facebook.
Cops have to face different situations while on duty. And in some cases, these incidents may leave you chuckling. Just like this situation when cops received a call about a perpetrator who led them on a 'low-speed foot pursuit'. Guess whom they were chasing? It's a little pony.
The Tuscaloosa Police Department took to Facebook to share the story along with pictures showing them petting the donkey. "If you live around 30th Avenue East and First Street East, that was us causing all the commotion last night. We received a call about a small pony hanging out in the Alberta neighborhood around 10 p.m. He was extremely unwilling to go with the officers at first, and not at all interested in the pizza crusts or peppermints they offered," they wrote.
"We're not sure of his name, so we're calling him Ginuwine for now. Three officers engaged in a low-speed foot pursuit, following Ginuwine up and down driveways and through people's backyards for nearly two hours. He eventually allowed himself to be caught, and was happy to get pets and pose for selfies," they added.
