Baaad Goats On The Loose...Fullerton Rookie Cop To The Rescue
These cops got a little more than they bargained for when a couple of escapee goats managed to break out of their enclosure at his OC farm.
FULLERTON, CA —It was sunset on Sunday when the call came in: animals on the loose, near Fullerton High School.

"It was his first call of the night, after completing field training," a Fullerton Police Department spokesperson said over social media. As to whether goat-wrangling or farm animal chasing was in part of the training curriculum?
"We have to believe this one wasn't covered at the Academy," they said.

Some good Samaritans stepped in to lend a hand, as did Fullerton PD Officer Vega.
"We appreciate you collecting our goats safely," Fullerton High School Agriculture teacher Shannon Alcott commented. Alcott told all that the baby goats were given a stern talking to, back at the high school farm.
