Goat on the lam in Florida

Shortly after Florida deputies wrangled an escaped goat, they were called to help another goat nearby that got its head stuck in a chain link fence.

OCALA, Fla. - A goat in Florida couldn’t ‘bleat’ the system when it escaped from its pen and a hilarious deputy pursuit ensued. 

Bodycam video from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office shows deputies chasing the hoofed escapee for about five minutes. 

A deputy can be seen running after the animal, affectionately nicknamed ‘Billy the Kid’, calling it with kissing noises and imitating the animal’s bleating sounds.
