Officer caught on video chasing down and tackling a runaway pig

A Grantsville police officer demonstrated remarkable prowess akin to that of a football defensive lineman when he effectively managed a situation involving two stray pigs running amok.

According to reports from the Grantsville police on Tuesday, two hogs were found roaming freely in the vicinity of 700 Quirk St.

After evading capture for two days, the officer, displaying athleticism reminiscent of a potential NFL player, was captured on video tackling one of the pigs at a residence and escorting it back to his patrol car.
