Police officers in Forest, Mississippi had to use a Taser gun and handcuffs to capture a runaway emu on Interstate 20 in central Mississippi on Sunday.
Police Officer Kiley Culpepper told television station WLBT in Jackson that motorists had been calling 911 since Friday to report two emus on I-20.
Authorities had been unable to find the emus until Sunday, when one was spotted near an I-20 entrance ramp where it was dodging traffic.
Culpepper and deputies were able to surround the emu but had to use the Taser and handcuffs to finally get it off the road.
The emu wasn’t harmed during the capture was taken to the Scott County Forest Coliseum for safe-keeping.
