Goat hops into Georgia cop’s patrol car. Her body cam captures the chaos that ensues
An unsuspecting sheriff’s deputy in central Georgia had her patrol car pillaged by an intrepid farm animal while trying to serve paperwork, video captured by her body camera shows.
The incident occurred in rural Douglas County, just west of Atlanta.
The deputy, who is not named, reportedly left her car door open while serving civil papers, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post sharing the video.
“The deputy explained that due to the number of houses she visits daily, she routinely leaves her vehicle’s door open because she has had to retreat on a number of occasions from vicious dogs,” the sheriff’s office said. “Never once did she expect or even consider what was about to happen this day.”
In the video, the deputy is seen knocking on the door of a white house when she spots the audacious goat approaching.
“I hope that goat don’t get in my car,” she’s heard saying.
As if on cue, the animal does exactly that.
“Oh sh**, he’s eating the paper,” the deputy says as she strides toward her patrol car. She then opens the passenger door and tries to shoo the animal. It doesn’t budge, the video shows.
The deputy spends the next few minutes moving back and forth between the driver- and passenger-side doors trying to nudge the animal out.
The goat, meanwhile, wreaks havoc.
Body cam footage shows it munching on paperwork and spilling a beverage tucked in the center console. Every time the deputy grabs something away from it, the goat seemingly finds something else to pick up.
“C’mon, get out — get out!” she says.
The deputy grabs a fistful of paperwork out from under the goat, which appears to be wearing a collar, before it finally exits through her passenger side door — but not before snatching another pile of paper in its mouth and scattering more across the lawn.
The video ends as two dogs approach and the deputy grabs the last bit of paper from the goat’s mouth. It head butts her to the ground.
The deputy can be heard laughing as she gets up, and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said she wasn’t hurt.
“At the end of the day we all got a little laugh out of it and we hope you do as well,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.
