In hilarious body camera footage shared by Oklahoma police, two diligent officers mistake a goat’s cry for a person in distress, ultimately ending with comical results.
On May 8, Enid police officers David Sneed and Neal Storey responded to a report that a concerned citizen had heard cries for help coming from a farm. As they neared the site on foot, a distinct yell could be heard growing louder. The officers ran toward the sound and thought they could make out a word: “Help!”
They weren’t entirely wrong, but the “victim” was neither human nor in trouble.
In the body camera footage, the officers slow their pace as they approach the farmer and his goat pen, where their comical error is revealed. One of the officers explains to the farmer, “From a long distance it sounds like, ‘Help!’” and the trio share a hearty laugh.
