Watch Temple Police Herd ‘Unknown Heifer’ in Local Park [VIDEO]

As a police officer, you've got to be prepared for anything. In Texas, that means you may have to play cowboy in an impromptu rodeo. Tempe Police uploaded a video titled 'Unknown heifer has beef with TPD' to their Facebook page Friday in which they do just that.

Dashcam footage from Thursday, March 23 shows a young bull enjoying the view of a lovely green field at Wilson Park when Officer Gabriel Estrella's cruiser approaches. The cow hoofs it, and the chase begins!

He's eventually corralled safely into a fenced area, but he ain't havin' that! He charges at Officer Estrella, who's smart enough to get the heck out of the cornered bull's way.

According to a news release from Temple Police Sgt. M. Bolton, the cow was last seen headed eat outside of town at 8:30 PM.

Our sister station, US105, spoke with officer Estrella on camera at Temple Police headquarters Friday afternoon to hear his story.

It's not clear if the cow could face charges of evasion or attempting to assault a police officer. What is clear is that Temple police have a good sense of humor, as does the Belton PD, as evidenced by their response to the video.
