I don't have the full story yet, but one of the guys on the road just sent me this.....one in custody. Can't wait to hear all about THIS caper. (Owner did call and apparently piggy has been returned home.) Posted by Shelby Township Police Department on Thursday, May 28, 2015

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, MI -- Images of a Macomb County pig in a police car are being shared far and wide over social media after the runaway hog was captured and held in the back seat of a law enforcement cruiser earlier this week.

Shelby Township police shared details of the incident over the department's Facebook page.

Police used a catch pole normally used for dogs to nab the pig, which had been running loose through a neighborhood Thursday.

"We would have had video of the arrest, but everyone there was laughing too hard to press 'record,'" the department reported.

A "post-arrest" video was captured, along with a photo in which the pig seems to be smiling.

The pig's owner contacted authorities, picked up the animal from a police station and cleaned the soiled back seat of the police vehicle, officers reported.

"We let Pig off with a warning this time," police announced over the Facebook page. "I think it will be a while before Pig is a road hog and porks in a no-porking zone again!"
