Last Tuesday, police in Boone, North Carolina, had to chase a driver who fled a traffic stop. The suspect led the cops on a chase, then stopped, got out of his vehicle, and fled into the countryside. The police didn’t see which way he ran, so they started searching the area. A news release from the Town of Boone Police Department on Facebook details what happened next.

As officers began to search the area they received some unexpected, but welcomed assistance from some local cows. Apparently cows do not want suspected criminals loitering in their pasture and quickly assisted our officers by leading them directly to where the suspect was hiding. The cows communicated with the officers as best they could and finally just had the officers follow them to the suspect’s location.
The Facebook post goes on to thank the cows and speculates on the feasibility of forming a Bovine Tracking Unit for the force. The suspect, 34-year-old Joshua Minton, faces charges of driving on a revoked license and several counts involving fleeing. -via reddit
