A herd of cows recently assisted local police officers in rounding up a suspect wanted by local authorities.

Taking place in the US state of Florida, a female suspect crashed a stolen vehicle into a ditch, promptly abandoning the car and jumping into a nearby field in an attempt to shake off the pursuing law enforcement.

She did not take into account, however, a less than friendly greeting from the field inhabitants – a group of about 20 cows.

By the time the suspect made it to the far side of the field, police officers were ready and waiting – swiftly arresting and detaining the woman as soon as she climbed through the fence.

Recorded and posted online by Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, the police department stated: “Our alert team assisted Sanford Police on Sunday, tracking down two suspects who crashed a stolen car, bailed out and ran.

If in Florida, don’t mess with these bovine bailiffs!
