A “grumpy” animal pranked some Oklahoma police officers this week. As officers circled the area, they heard screams of what they thought was someone who was in trouble and needed help. However, when they got to the scene, they found it was just the screams of a goat.

In video released by the Enid Police Department, officers David Sneed and Neal Storey can be seen walking towards the alleged 911 call. “I think it’s a person,” one of the officers said.
Goat was upset
According to British newspaper The Mirror, police were sure they were approaching someone in trouble, but when they finally got to the source of the riot, they found the “person” who needed rescuing was just a badtempered one goat was. “Oh! It’s a goat.
The farmer described the situation to the police, who quickly realized that it was a false alarm.
“As they ran toward the sound, the pair soon discovered that their distressed girl was a very upset goat, who the farmer explained had been separated from one of his friends,” police wrote in an explanation.
