Police officers in North Carolina got an unlikely assist while searching for a suspect in a reckless driving case.
Authorities say a man later identified as Joshua Minton, 34, fled from Boone County police officers during a traffic stop on Tuesday. Minton led the police and deputies from the Watauga County Sheriff's Office on a chase in his car, then abandoned his vehicle and "fled into an undeveloped area," Boone police said in a news release.
Police weren't immediately able to see where Minton had run, so they began to search the area, and found a herd of cows eager to help.
