You really never know what you are going to encounter when responding to a call of a woman being chased down the street. Will it be nothing, could you be getting into a physical altercation? Well this suspect was a little of both. Our officer tried his freshly certified de-escalation skills, but to no avail. Despite assaulting our officer a few times the suspect was ultimately restrained. After being returned to his owner, charges were dropped.
Goat restrained, returned to owner after chasing woman down street in Oakland
A goat has been chastised after Oakland police found the creature to blame for chasing a woman down a street.
“You never really know what you are going to encounter when responding to a call of a woman being chased down a street,” the Oakland Police Department posted on its Facebook page Sunday morning. “Will it be nothing, will you be getting into a physical altercation? Well this suspect was a little bit of both.”
Officer Jacob Earle responded to the call around 9 a.m. Sunday, according to a secretary at the department. It took some effort to coax the feisty goat into submission, officials said.
“(Earle) tried his freshly certified de-escalation skills, but to no avail,” the Facebook post continued. “Despite assaulting our officer a few times the suspect was ultimately restrained.”
The goat was returned to its owner by 9:15 a.m. and the woman it chased said she will not press charges.
