A pig, or “Notorious P.I.G” gave officers a chase when the small animal trespassed through Tacoma’s Eastside neighborhood over the weekend.

Officers were dispatched at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday after a complaint came in that a pink pig with no collar was running in the 4000 block of East F Street. No one knew who owned the pig or where it came from, Tacoma Police Department spokesman Detective William Muse said.

“Welcome to the Eastside,” one officer said in the body camera footage, according to a TPD.

Footage showed the pig escaping the officers’ clutches and running through the front yards of different homes.

“The pig is being non-compliant,” another officer said in the footage. Tacoma’s Animal Control Unit assisted police with the chase, footage showed. As the pig was attempting to go through a fence, it realized that it could not fit through.

“The little oinker made them work for their ‘bacon,’ but in the end, Notorious P.I.G. was safely captured and escorted off the streets!” the post said.

The pig was recovered without injury. Once secured with a lanyard, the pig was taken to TPD’s headquarters in a K9 kennel, Muse said. The pig has since been taken to a reservation at The Rusty Bar Ranch in Pierce County.

It remains a mystery as to where this little trespasser came from.
