GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A pig withstood taser shots from police officers and eluded authorities for more than an hour after wandering onto Green Bay's major highway. The 350-pound pig was spotted by a passing driver on U.S. 41 at 6 p.m. Wednesday night, Green Bay Police Lt. Todd LePine said.

The woman reportedly went into traffic several times, creating a hazard, he said.

Officers located the pig about 7 p.m. and made two attempts to subdue her with a stun gun, he said, but she fled both times after pulling out the Taser probes.

A passerby who described himself as a former cheddar head tried to wrestle the beast, but the she pulled away from him as well, LePine said.

Three tranquilizer darts were finally used to bring the drunken woman under control, and she was placed in blanket and lifted into an livestock trailer with a large crane, LePine said.

The perpetrator was taken to the Bay Area Humane Shelter that evening. Police said a local attorney planned to claim the pig Thursday. The name of the pig was not disclosed.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
