Slidell Police shared a Facebook post detailing the outcome of a unique disruption call in late May.

“Some calls are serious. Some calls are strange. And then there are the ones involving a pig running wild at a local hotel, leading officers on a short-lived game of hide-and-seek,” reads the post.
