Two South Carolina State Police Officers with the assistance of the Richland County Sheriff's Department answered an emergency call from a motorist on Friday June 26 about a hog that was running on Interstate 26 near Chapin.
The police officers were able to catch the hog that caused a traffic delay for a short while.
After the hog was captured by the state troopers, autos were then given the clear signal to resume driving on their way.
The good news is that the hog was not harmed by the police and returned the hog to its owner.

That is true since I know of some stray cats that are known for crossing the street when autos are speeding on the road.

@Deepizzaguy ........I have seen some cats get nearly smashed by autos. They truly have nine lives.

The Police were lucky this time as it appears to be only a smallish hog from the photo.
