Police Pursue Suspect, Find Baby Goose Instead
19 Jun
Summary
- Police received information about a suspect fleeing a domestic incident.
- Officers located the suspect using a heat signature in a wooded area.
- A gosling was found accompanying the suspect and later returned to its mother.

On the evening of June 5, Kettering police officers were alerted by the Greene County Sheriff's Office about a suspect on the run from a domestic violence incident. Officers were dispatched to a wooded area where they detected a heat signature, indicating the suspect's location.
To their surprise, a second heat signature revealed a baby goose was with the suspect. Video footage later emerged showing the gosling trailing the officers as they navigated the situation and worked towards reuniting the young bird with its mother. The Kettering Police Department shared the unusual event on social media, humorously reporting the suspect in custody and the gosling safely returned home.
