NORTH RIDGEVILLE – Police in northeast Ohio said they received a call from a man walking home early Saturday morning claiming he was being followed by a pig.
That's right. A pig. Police didn't believe it, either.
The North Ridgeville Police Department said it responded to the “obviously drunk guy walking home from the bar at 5:26 in the morning” in Elyria.
When police arrived, they found a man who was not drunk at all. And apparently, he was telling the truth.
Police confessed the man was not walking from the bar named "Train Station" but rather from the actual Amtrak station.
And what did they find? You guessed it: a pig following the sober man.
An officer managed to wrangle the pig in the back of a cruiser. The pig was then taken to the station.
The police even took the moment on their facebook page to mention the irony: "Also, we will mention the irony of the pig in a police car now so that anyone that thinks they’re funny is actually unoriginal and trying too hard."
Police said later the pig was returned to its rightful owner.

At 5:26 this morning we received a call from a male who stated that he was walking home on Center Ridge from the Train Station in Elyria. He went on to state that he was being followed by a pig and didn’t know what to do. A pig. Riiiight.
Night shift responded to the obviously drunk guy walking home from the bar at 5:26 in the morning. He was at least drunk enough to call the police on himself while hallucinating.
Upon arrival, they found a very sober male walking eastbound on Center Ridge near Maddock Rd. from the actual Amtrak train station in Elyria, not the bar. Oh, and he was being followed by a pig.
Yes, a pig.
Ptlm. Kuduzovic managed to wrangle (I think this is the correct word to use) said pig into his cruiser and he is currently secured in our pig pens.....er, dog kennels. Whatever.
You’d have thought we would have learned our lesson after the kangaroo incident.
Is this real life?
Also, we will mention the irony of the pig in a police car now so that anyone that thinks they’re funny is actually unoriginal and trying too hard.
Have a great day.
UPDATE 8:23am: THE PIG HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ITS OWNER.

It was a year ago, September
a day I well remember
I was walking up and down
in drunken pride
when my knees began to flutter
and I fell down in the gutter
and a pig came by and lay down by my side
____________
As I lay there in the gutter
thinking thoughts I could not utter
I thought I heard a passing lady say,
"You can tell a man who boozes
by the company he chooses..."
And with that, the pig got up and walked away
Was the pig drunk?
I smell bacon
LOL
That was a security pig. He was making sure the man got home safe.
"...you can a man who boozes, by the company he chooses, and the little pig got up and walked away..."
so.... now even pigs are being singled out...????
When police arrested the pig, it exclaimed:
“Soooooooeeeyy!!! Another man done gone”
We actually went to see that movie...................
Kind of reminds me of Dangerous Dan McGrew.
“You’d have thought we would have learned our lesson after the kangaroo incident.”
A kangaroo and a pig walked into a bar......
It was supposed to remind you of Marie Laveau.
And now thatI’ve read the lyrics to Dangerous Dan McGrew, how to forget them???
Reminds me of the live PD episode a few months back wherein someone called because they had a pig in their yard, in Pasco Cty Florida. The caller eventually adopted it as a pet I wonder how the pig is doing now, it was a cute episode.
I sent this to a couple of pig hunters and told them to go a friendly bar instead of the woods to get their pigs.
Was it the WPIG pig?
Maybe he was carrying truffles in his pockets.

Ooh, Voodoo, no thank you. :)
I’ve long suspected that Hooterville was in Ohio.
What do you call a pig with three eyes? ...
A piiig
