No Kidding: Baby Goat Found In Shoplifting Suspect's Vehicle

HAYMARKET, VA — A Prince William County police officer and a member of the county's community services department picked up a baby goat Tuesday during a police service call. The baby goat — known as a kid — was later turned over to the county’s animal control.

A Prince William County Police Department-Community Services co-responder unit were providing assistance in a shoplifting case at a Walmart store in Haymarket. The suspect, who was arrested, had the baby goat in her vehicle, a police spokesman said.

“This adorable kid was turned over to Animal Control for safekeeping but not before a few pics were taken,” the police department said.

Prince William County Master Police Officer Gardiner and Clinician Hilliard with the county's Community Services department took care of the goat. The county declined to provide Hilliard's first name.
