Arlington police made a very usual stop after they were called to round up a herd of goats wandering through neighborhoods, escaping their enclosure. NBC 5’s Noelle Walker has the story
Things got hairy when Arlington Police responded to an interesting call Tuesday morning when someone reported a large herd of goats had escaped from their enclosure.
The City of Arlington partnered with Open Space Development to bring hundreds of goats to the Crystal Canyon Natural Area to help clear the underbrush and invasive plants from the park.
Things got a little out of hoof (and hand) when a large herd escaped and was found wandering around Brown Boulevard and Winding Hollow Lane.

"Oh, this is a mess! Go back to where you came from, please," an Arlington Police officer is heard saying while laughing on his body camera recording. "Who knew we were goat wranglers now?"
"Wow, that's a lot! That's a lot of goats," neighbor Dolores Richey said watching the police body camera video. "I hope they already rescued all of them, but it is adorable!"
Police were able to take the situation by the horns, working to get all the goats rounded up and the herd was found unharmed.
