Lawrence, United States - August 28, 2024

The streets of Lawrence, Kansas, have been cleared of an unexpected visitor after the Lawrence Police Department (LPD) successfully captured a wayward goat that had been causing a stir among locals. The goat, which had been dodging traffic and startling pedestrians, was finally cornered by officers, marking the end of its brief but eventful escapade.

The capture, which unfolded on the side of a residential home, was captured on the body cameras of the officers involved. The footage, released by the LPD on Thursday, shows the moment when the goat, after eluding capture for several days, was finally brought under control. The video has since been shared widely, offering residents a chance to witness the unusual police operation.

In a light-hearted twist, the LPD dubbed the officer who managed to lasso the goat as their "GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time), playfully referencing both the acronym and the animal in question. The officer's skill with the lasso not only ended the goat's run but also provided a moment of humor amidst the usual police duties.
