Police in North Texas had their hands full on April Fool's Day after a goat and a peacock led them on a wild goose chase.
Officers from the Irving Police Department thought they were being pranked on April Fool's Day until they were called to handle a situation involving a peacock and a goat on Monday afternoon.
The agency stated that one of its law enforcement officers, Officer Turner, had been patrolling the city all morning on April 1 until he received dispatches about a goat running loose along Highway 183 and a peacock trotting through a neighborhood. The goat fell off a trailer, ended up on the highway, and navigated through shopping centers. Authorities temporarily shut down the entire highway before finally wrangling the goat and getting it to safety.
"She gave everyone a run for their money that day," said Brittany Polk, a senior officer at Irving Animal Services.Irving Police Department Officer Turner had to chase down and rescue a goat and a peacock on April Fool's Day.Police captured the vibrant bird in a residential backyard. The peacock's severe leg injury necessitated immediate medical attention, so it was taken to a wildlife rehabilitation clinic in Southlake.
Irving Animal Services told NBC 5 that Dallas County animal services officers picked up the goat because their agency lacks the proper livestock setup.
