SANFORD, Fla. — A herd of 16 cows helped police officers in Florida corral a fleeing suspect who bailed out of a car and ran through a pasture.

A Seminole County Sheriff’s helicopter captured the Sunday night incident on video as the crew gave play-by-play to officers on the ground.

A crew member offered this nugget to pursuing officers: “If you see a large group of cows, they’re literally following her.”

The cows eventually ran Jennifer Anne Kaufman into a fence, where police were waiting to arrest her.

An arrest report shows the car Kaufman was in crashed during a police pursuit. A second suspect was captured by a K-9 and arrested.

Kaufman is being held on a $4,500 bond. Charges against her include resisting an officer and drug possession.

Large bovines can eat a bale of hay per day, and they equate humans with food. Those cattle probably were thinking it’s feeding time and moved on in to get fed.

Your right 16 cows isn't considered a herd in many places.

I use to help out a friend whose herd got up to 60 head. I can remember pulling into the field, not much happening, until I started to unload the vegetables we got from a company that sold packaged salads. They (the cows) went nuts looking for the carrot tops, like if it was some type of drugs. I can still remember the sound of thunder from there hoofs, charging the truck, and I'm on the ground spreading the pile, to give them all a fair shot at the pile, shaking in my boots, until they slowed down. :-)
