SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Officers in suburban Detroit took a stray pig into custody, holding the animal in the back of a police vehicle before reuniting it with its owner. Debbie DeRiemaecker said she was doing yard work Thursday evening at her home when the pig came barreling toward her. It chased her into the front yard before apparently getting distracted by a decorative ball. DeRiemaecker called 911. She said police soon got the pig off the streets, though it left a mess inside their vehicle.
