PORTAGE COUNTY, WI (OnFocus) – A bobcat is safe and back in the wild after being trapped in the front of a car in Portage County Wednesday.
“Ok this is a first…” Sheriff Mike Lucas posted to social media.
According to Lucas, dispatch received a call stating, “I have a bobcat in my car”.
“You can only imagine what everyone was thinking at the time, so when they dispatched over the radio numerous deputies were curious,” Lucas added. “So, Deputies Selvey, Stanton and Ashbeck responded to the location to investigate. As you can imagine the shock they were in when low and behold there was a bobcat in the vehicle. My deputies are really good at solving problems but this one baffled them so we called in reinforcements with Conservation Warden Bryan Lockman. As you can see on the bodycam footage Warden Lockman was a pro at getting the critter out and in his truck and returned it to the wild.”
All in a day’s work at the Portage County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin DNR.
