Police in Shelby Township, Michigan apprehended an aggressive pig on May 28 after it chased a woman who was gardening.
When the pig was distracted by a decorative lawn ornament, the woman called police who (we're guessing) read the pig its rights and arrested it.
The Shelby Township PD Facebook page has been providing updates on the story since it occurred.

Officer Treworgy just sent me this "post arrest" video of the "perp". You can hear Tree say something like " yup, that's in my police car"..... Almost like he's trying to convince himself that there is actually a pig in the back of his patrol car. Lol!Posted by Shelby Township Police Department on Friday, May 29, 2015
The pig, whose name is Pig, was put in the back of a police cruiser and returned to its owners. During the trip, however, it looks like Pig made a bit of a mess (read: it pooped on everything) in the back of the squad car.
According to the Shelby Township PD Facebook page, Pig was returned safely to its home, relieved of its bowel troubles and a bit more weary of authority.
