Cows aid North Carolina police in capturing suspect on the run
TL;DR
A 34-year-old man fled during a traffic stop in North Carolina and led police on a chase before abandoning his vehicle and hiding in an undeveloped area. Officers received unexpected assistance from a herd of cows, who led them directly to the suspect's location. The cows are privately owned and were in a large fenced area. The suspect has been charged with fleeing arrest with a motor vehicle, driving with a revoked license, and disorderly conduct. The police department jokingly proposed introducing a new "Bovine Tracking Unit."
