The Cookeville Police Department released body camera footage Sunday from the chase that ensued May 7 when a zebra was spotted wandering near Prescott South Middle School.
"I've roped a couple horses in my day," an officer says in the footage, which shows the zebra keeping a distance from the officers and jumping a fence at one point.
Police said the chase lasted for about 3 hours before they were able to coax the animal into a trailer.
