Citrus Heights police corralled and reunited a loose goat with its owners Tuesday afternoon after the animal was reportedly acting aggressively toward people in the neighborhood.
Police responded to the area of Away Way and Nordic Court after 4 p.m. on Nov. 12, with additional reports indicating the goat was “pecking people” at Nordic Court and Mariposa Avenue. Details of how long the goat was loose prior to police arrival were not available.
Police were able to contact the owners of the goat and neighbors helped catch and contain the goat until officers arrived. Scanner radio traffic indicates the goat was placed in the back of a police vehicle until the owners arrived to retrieve the animal.
Officials confirmed Thursday that no injuries were reported in connection with the incident, and said the animal’s owners are “working on” making sure the goat’s enclosure is secure.
