These cows deserve an award for being outstanding in their field.

After a suspect led police on a manhunt in Brazos County, Texas, on June 9, officers were able to apprehend him with the help of some cows who tipped them off.

KBTX reported that the suspect, 24-year-old Samuel White, was initially pulled over for speeding. "When he was told that he would be arrested, he took off and led several agencies on a high speed chase," police said.

While he was evading the police, White ended up hitting another car and crashing into a field before running away on foot.

The woman whose car White hit --  Ajitta Harwell -- told KBTX, "I guess he must have panicked and took off and just hit me head on."

"He just hit me so hard, I was in shock," said Harwell. "I couldn't do nothing but sit there and scream."

Police called off the manhunt afterwards after White, "was found laying in some fields." 

According to KBTX, "Authorities say they found White after some cows apparently gave up his hiding spot, as they were staring at him."

Police later discovered that White had an outstanding warrant, which they believe is the reason he chose to run.
