'Ungodly fast' pig gives Oregon police the slip -- again

Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Police in Oregon shared photos from their repeated encounters with an "ungodly fast" pig that has been dodging capture since the year began.

Tukwila Police said they first received reports of a pig on the loose Monday, and the department's Facebook page variously referred to the porker as Wilbur, Nelson and ultimately by the real name revealed by its owner, Monty.

"Officers at one point had the perp cornered but he is ungodly fast and quickly outran us into some nearby bushes where he disappeared. Nelson 1 - TPD 0," police wrote in a Facebook post. "We shall meet again, Nelson!"

The pig resurfaced Thursday and police posted they were hot on his trail.

"*BREAKING* We are in pursuit of Monty again!" police wrote.

People complained that Animal Control wouldn't get him off the roads. ( His favorite time of day was 5pm.) They said they couldn't catch him.

I don't know how that managed to slip by the writers and editors.
