Deputies were called out to a residential neighborhood in San Bernardino County in California when a giant pig the size of a mini horse was running loose.
Fortunately the pig had a giant case of the munchies (don’t they always?) and the deputy was willing to sacrifice part of her lunch.
Deputy Ponce and Deputy Berg, because of the pig’s activities from previous calls, knew where he lived.
They lured him back home by making a trail of Popping Jalapenos Doritos from a deputy’s lunch bag. He followed the trail to his home and they secured the gate.
Crime fighting to matching wits with a pig—the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department does it all.
That's how they lead me home when I have had one too many.

What a fun story. Doritos saved the day.
Have a fabulous day. ♥

"What do you do when a giant pig invades the neighborhood?" You pet it. Pigs are almost as amazing as dogs.
Popping Jalopeno Doritos? That I don't get.

Must be something in the air this time of year. Over the course of about six hours the scanner feed here in lovely Montgomery County announced horses out on our road. Cows out ditto. And then an emu, which thoughtfully went down our road to visit a nearby village. And now a giant pig out your way. lol

threecollie: I'd trade you all of those for the gators we have crawling all over here. They're on all golf courses, in backyards, with some trying to get into doggie doors, etc. They're a real nuisance. I'll throw in some Popping Jalopeno Doritos ;-)
