The "non-compliant" porker, nicknamed the "Notorious P.I.G.," managed to dodge his capture attempts with surprising agility.
"We have eyes on the pig; it is now trespassing," an officer can be heard joking on the radio as the pig appears cornered in a yard.
After a tense standoff, the pig was finally captured and safely transported to a nearby horse rescue and training facility. There, it joined another rescued pig.
