ODESSA, Texas – All over town ran a lone goat as Odessa police and animal control officers tried to catch the roaming animal. The report to police came in Saturday as a sheep on the loose. Officers then determined it was a goat loping through a Taco Bell parking lot, a park and the dorm area at the University of Texas-Permian Basin.
It took four police officers, two animal control officers and one off-duty police officer on motorcycle to corral the goat after about 30 minutes.
Animal control officers subdued the goat with a tranquilizer gun and took custody of it.
There was no immediate word on who owned the goat.
