I have been a Police Officer for 16 years and the first time i have ever seen this. A cow in the parking garage in philly. And it popped up on police radio, a cow on the southbound lanes of 95, and luck would have it a state trooper owned a ranch in south jersey and lent his expertise. We could still be following the cow to the airport now. It was shepherded by Police Vehicles and corralled into a nearby parking lot. She was curious and why not . A little cow in the big city and sniffed around and delivered back to the United Church of christ if old city where they had had a live nativity set since 1973. And she chomped on hay and got a rest. The reunion was brief. And when the dust settled. Stormy got out again. The second time she pushed her way out by herself. We think someone tampered with it and let her out. It was not completely closed the way it should be after that. Despite the passers, stormy stepped out on to ray street and went to 4th. And the 6 abc crews tried to slow traffic and i called 99 season stormy had her own plans making her way to the parking garage at arch and reunited with her farmer and greeted with hay. I was able to fashion a makeshift halter out of my jumper cables and we walked back here. There was a brief holdup and stormy unable to present a validated ticket and back along 4th and into the enclosure. Stormy went back to her farm in roxborough and this is ginger stormys understudy and half of stormys size. And hopefully storm has has not spread the word on how to break the locks. Oh my goodness.
