Loose police horse briefly on patrol in Cleveland
CLEVELAND - An "unhinged" police horse took an unscheduled tour of downtown Cleveland before officers recaptured the mane suspect.
Police spokesman Sgt. Ali Pillow said Jack, a horse with the department's mounted unit, was tied up at the Erie Street Cemetery when he got free about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The Northeast Ohio Media Group reports that Jack galloped through Playhouse Square, then headed toward Lake Erie. Police caught up with Jack as he headed east on Superior Avenue, and there were no reports of injuries or property damage.
Officers said Jack stayed on the street during his escape, but didn't stop at red lights.
Maybe because he's a horse?
