**BREAKING: GOAT ON THE LOOSE CAUSES CHAOS ON OHIO HIGHWAY**
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of Columbus, Ohio, scratching their heads, a feisty goat somehow managed to evade capture and send police on a wild goose chase down a busy highway yesterday evening.
The drama unfolded on Interstate 71, where the agile goat, estimated to be around 3 feet tall and sporting a fluffy white coat, was spotted prancing down the middle of the road, causing a massive traffic jam.
“I was driving to work when suddenly, out of nowhere, this goat appears and starts skipping down the highway like it owns the place,” said commuter, Jane Doe. “I mean, I’ve seen some weird things in my time, but this was something else. I almost crashed my car trying to get out of its way!”
As police scrambled to respond to the situation, the cunning goat led them on a merry chase, dodging and weaving through traffic with an uncanny ability to evade capture.
“It was like it had a PhD in evasive maneuvers,” said Officer Mike Johnson, who was part of the pursuit team. “I’ve never seen anything like it. The goat was like a little Houdini, always one step ahead of us.”
The chase lasted for an astonishing 10 miles, with the goat periodically stopping to munch on roadside vegetation or taunt police with a playful bleat.
“It was like it was enjoying the thrill of the chase,” said Officer Johnson. “At one point, it even gave me a sassy little head-butt when I tried to get too close.”
Miraculously, no one was injured during the ordeal, although several drivers were left shaken and one reported seeing the goat “giving them the stink-eye” as it zoomed past.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the goat led police on a final, daring sprint through a nearby parking lot, where it was finally corralled and apprehended.
As authorities breathed a sigh of relief, the goat was taken into custody and is currently being held at a local animal shelter, where it is reportedly demanding belly rubs and an endless supply of snacks.
When asked for comment, the goat’s lawyer (yes, you read that right – the goat has a lawyer) released a statement saying, “My client is innocent until proven guilty and demands equal time on the evening news to tell its side of the story.”
The incident has left residents of Columbus scratching their heads and wondering: what other surprises does this mischievous goat have in store?
