Goat breaks into police car, eats paperwork
A police officer in the American state of Georgia recently received a surprise visitor – a goat inside her car.
The deputy from Douglas County Sheriff’s Office found herself in the bizarre situation after she went to a residence to serve some civil papers on Friday – and came back to find the animal inside her car, happily munching away on the paperwork kept there.
According to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the deputy explained that “due to the number of houses she visits daily, she routinely leaves her vehicle’s door open because she has had to retreat on a number of occasions from vicious dogs”.
On Friday, she had been doing her job as usual when the day received an unexpected twist. Body camera footage showed the cop walking back to her car from a residence and finding a goat inside.
The footage showed her trying to shoo the goat away and attempting to retrieve the papers it was chewing.
At one point, she was even knocked to the ground, although the police department said she did not suffer any injuries.
“At the end of the day we all got a little laugh out of it and we hope you do as well!” the Police Department wrote while sharing the video on Facebook.
“It got to eat the warrant for my arrest fast before the police comes back. Hahaha,” one person said.

Loose goat evades pursuing police in Georgia
Police in Georgia are hot on the trail of a ‘hoofed Houdini’ — an escaped goat spotted running loose in Duluth.
The Duluth Police Department said on social media that numerous calls came on Tuesday, reporting a loose goat ‘trotting’ on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard ‘like it had somewhere very important to be.’
“Officers responded and attempted to corral the hoofed Houdini as it made its way toward Albion Farm Road, where it hopped a few fences and outsmarted us by disappearing into backyards,” the post said.
Police suspect the goat might be the same animal seen running loose recently in Suwanee.
“Apparently, it had unfinished business in Duluth,” police wrote.
