Pet Pig Bites Owner, Trash Man Too Loud: Vienna Crime Report

VIENNA, VA—The Vienna Police Department responded to a variety of incidents reported the week of Oct. 19-25, including a pet pig that bit its owner and a trash man who began his job a little too early.

Around noon on Oct. 19, a resident in the 600 block of Tazewell Road, NW, told police she had been bitten by her pig, which promptly was placed on a 10-day quarantine. No word on the owner's injuries.

Then, on Oct. 22 in the 500 block of Maple Avenue, an officer spotted a trash truck emptying dumpster before 7 a.m. The officer dutifully issued the driver, a 49-year-old Bristow man, a summons for a noise violation.

We've rounded up more of the most notable incidents—as if those weren't notable enough—from the last week below. An arrest does not always mean police took someone into custody. An arrested individual is not automatically guilty of a crime.
