Watch: 'Ungodly Fast' Pig On The Loose In Tukwila

Tukwila police can't seem to catch up to Monty the pig, who's been on the loose for days.

TUKWILA, WA - An "ungodly fast" pig named Monty has been eluding Tukwila police all week. The large, black-haired swine has trampled through forests, down streets, and past multiple officers since at least Tuesday, according to the department.

"So far, we have wrangled a few dogs, cats, a raccoon, a goat and a peacock. Yet we have met our match with [Monty]," the department wrote on Twitter.

Officers have made contact with Monty's owner, but he's just been too fast to catch. Monty has been labeled a felon by the officers.
