Officers round up runaway goat at Azul Apartments

Three goats attracted attention at the Azul Apartments after one wandered into the residential complex, a Facebook post said.

The post said Officer Lucas spotted the stray goat while on extra patrol and called in Officers Dauler and Garrison to help round it up. The goat was safely returned to its owner, the post said.

Incidents involving loose livestock occasionally require assistance from on-duty officers or animal control, particularly when animals move into residential areas and could create traffic or safety hazards. Returning animals to their owners typically resolves these situations without formal enforcement action.

Azul Apartments is a residential complex where such unexpected visits can disrupt neighbors and require a swift response. The Facebook post provided the account of the encounter but offered few additional details. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
