Ada County Sheriff’s Office Captures Fugitive Goat

The Ada County Sheriff's Office ACTION team spent an afternoon chasing a much shorter and furrier suspect than normal.

According to KTVB, that suspect was an escaped, 20 pound goat name Sophie that managed to escape her enclosure.  Sophie walked up to the ACTION team while they were in the parking lot discussing a case they were working on.  The 3-foot-tall troublemaker chased skateboarders out of the parking lot before almost walking into traffic on Maple Grove Road.

The officers did everything in their power to try to lure Sophie back to safety but nothing seemed to work. They eventually captured their "perp" by offering the goat a granola bar.  She took the bait and they were able to load her into the back of their patrol car to drive back home to her owners.
