“PARAGOULD — Police in Paragould have killed a small bull that was found wandering near the Paragould Country Club.
“Jonesboro television station KAIT reported that police received multiple calls Sunday from residents who spotted the bull.
“Police said officers tried to capture the animal and move it into an open field, but the bull continued to walk down U.S. 49.
“Authorities said that the animal was cornered in a parking lot near the intersection of U.S. 49 and U.S. 412.
“Authorities said they had no choice but to kill the bull because of safety concerns.”

(Years ago a former Ohio police officer told me about his first night on the job in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Mark said he got an after-midnight call about loose cattle. “I thought, ‘You gotta be kidding me,’” he said. Nope. His patrol car had a push-bumper, so when he got to the loose cattle, another officer rode the bumper and roped the cattle, using the bumper as a tie-down point. Animal control was also involved. Most towns in Texas, police get loose cattle or horse calls at least once a month.)
