Donkeys may have a sweet demeanor, but behind the floppy ears, some have a dark side.

Over in Norman, Oklahoma, police spotted a wandering donkey "on the loose.” It’s unclear what kind of trouble the donkey was up to (Eating grass? Taking a nap? Blinking?) but local police weren’t taking any risks. Oh no, not with this donkey.

Officer Kyle Canaan responded to the call and put the animal in the back of his squad car.

“He believed he could fit the donkey into the back of his squad car, so he did,” Sarah Johnson, Norman Police Department public safety officer, told The Oklahoma Daily.
