This morning, Chief-elect Tommy Williams, Mayor Randy Fandal and Interim-Chief Daniel Seuzeneau attended Reveille Northshore to give city updates and hear about all the wonderful things happening throughout our parish. It was a packed house this morning!

‼️ 𝐖𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 𝐔𝐩 ‼️ – 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘗𝘪𝘨𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦

Some calls are serious. Some calls are strange. And then there are the ones involving a pig running wild at a local hotel, leading officers on a short-lived game of hide-and-seek.

Just when our officers thought the shift was going to be "routine," they received a call about a pig wandering around a local hotel and causing a bit of a stir. Officers arrived and quickly discovered this little piglet wasn't going to go down without a fight. The piglet had taken cover underneath a police unit, where it clearly believed it had successfully evaded capture.

𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵

After a little patience, some careful coaxing, and what we can only assume was a serious negotiation, officers safely guided the pig out from under the police unit and into custody.

Turns out, the pig had been abandoned at the hotel and was likely just looking for a little protection . . . or maybe complimentary breakfast.

Either way, this porky fugitive is now safe and being cared for at the Slidell Animal Shelter, where it will be evaluated by a veterinarian while awaiting its next chapter.

Great work by our officers for handling this situation with care, professionalism, and just the right amount of bacon-related restraint. 🐷🚔
