The last thing Argent Witzel expected to see on patrol yesterday near Belmar was horses running by! Several horses broke free from their enclosure and right past our Agents yesterday. Thankfully, Agent Witzel is a bona fide rodeo cowboy and was able to get them settled down and back to their owner.

We had a pretty emu-sing day here at LPD! Your eyes aren’t tricking you. That’s an EMU! This big guy wandered away from his home and was found playing in the street at Colfax and Quail. Luckily, LPD Animal Control, Agents and RTD Police all came together to get the bird back to its home safely!

This is a photo of a runaway Emu that Lakewood Animal Control found
