Friday Feature: Cows Assist Deputies with Car Thief Arrest …………………..

By | August 17, 2018

This week’s featured video was published by USA Today to share the highlights from a recent Seminole County Florida Sheriff Department case.  A helicopter with a night-vision surveillance camera captured some amazing video footage of a car thief trying to escape arrest through a cow pasture.  The female suspect jumped out of the stolen SUV and tried to escape from deputies.  A small herd of 16 cows followed the suspect and herded her right to the waiting deputies, who made the arrest as she came through the fence of their pasture.  I can only imagine what that lady was thinking as the curious cattle chased after her in the dark.  One came really close to the suspect, so she probably thought this curious cow was about to run over her.  If you understand cattle behavior, this video is pretty comical, but the cows actually aided the deputies in making the arrest of this car thief.
