"Officer Santiago arrived to help corral our four-legged fugitive, but this little guy wasn't going down without a fight. Smarter than he looked and quicker than expected," the post said.
"Then Officer Tyree pulled up. No negotiations. No snacks. Just straight-up hog wrasslin'," police wrote.
The pig was secured and taken to be examined by a veterinarian.
"Not all heroes wear capes... some just know how to handle a pig," the post said.

“Not all heroes wear capes... some just know how to handle a pig,” the post said. I wonder if they could teach me how to herd them?
