Dispatchers were even heard communicating on the radio with each other, offering a more elastic leash to possibly avoid any injuries – like pulling a ham-string because the commotion was such a pig deal along Tanyard Road and Brenner Drive.
The intense pursuit kept officers on the edge of their seats as they eventually caught up with the hog – a moment that won't be forgotten anytime soon.
Police managed to corral him near the New Sharon neighborhood using "de-escalation techniques and the latest technology," officers noted.
Mr. Einswine was released on his own recognizance to his owners, police joked.
