Arlington County police frequently escort VIPs like the president and visiting heads of state as they travel to and through Arlington.
On Thursday morning, ACPD conducted a different sort of escort along a local highway. Rather than driving in limos, these VIPs waddled along the pavement.
I was driving down I-66 around 10:00 am this morning near Spout Run and saw the craziest thing - Make Way for Ducklings! There was a whole family of ducks proudly strutting down the first lane of I-66. @ArlingtonVaPD was on scene. Hoping someone (@ARLnowDOTcom?) had a photo.
The waterfowl family they turned out to be geese and not ducks ended up making it safely off the busy highway thanks to the assist from a quick-thinking and animal-loving detective.
