Runaway pig captured by Bucks County police after more than a month on the run

After weeks on the run, law enforcement in Bucks County finally has a nasty porker behind bars.

Bensalem Township police said on Nov. 18 that this was the case trying to catch a sneaky pig seen that there is game running around in the area.

An ongoing search for the ham on the run finally ended on December 17. The department said Porky the Pig was captured near Newport Mews Drive using a special trap provided by K911 Lost Dog Search, Inc-TEAM RUBY.

Police said Porky is headed to the nonprofit Ross Mill Pig Farm in Jamison, Pennsylvania, where he will be treated by a veterinarian and eventually put up for adoption through the Pig Placement Network.

“The Bensalem Township Police Department would like to thank everyone who provided updates on the location of ‘Porky,’” the department said.

But Porky didn’t get off completely free. The spotted pig with the pink snout was accused of fleeing and evading police.
