A group of cows assisted the police chase in North Carolina by guiding them straight to the suspect.

The North Carolina police officers apprehended a suspect who was hiding in a pasture with the assistance of a group of cows who were willing to provide information.
He left his car in the Deep Gap region and fled into an undeveloped zone.
Police stated that due to the suspect's speedy and dangerous driving, they were unable to immediately observe his whereabouts.
The officers initiated a search for the man and were aided unexpectedly by cows who were willing to disclose the location of the suspect.
A man from North Carolina has been accused of taking more than $230,000 from a charity event in New Hampshire and using it to gamble at a casino. According to a press release from the police, cows helped officers locate the suspect by leading them to where he was hiding.
The cows conveyed their message to the officers as effectively as possible and eventually led them to the whereabouts of the suspect. Minton was caught and accused of multiple offenses including evading arrest with a vehicle, driving with a revoked license, and disorderly behavior.
Minton was granted a secured bond of $20,000 and is expected to attend a court hearing on June 28 in Watauga County. The cows were appreciated by the police department for their help in locating Minton.
The police expressed their appreciation not only to their officers and deputies for risking their safety, but also to the cows for their help.
This raises various inquiries about the involvement of cows in combating crime.
To be honest, this is a new idea that we haven't thought about before. A city that reduced its police budget in 2020 is now considering a 6% salary increase for police officers, but some people believe it's insufficient. The police department is exploring the possibility of adding a Bovine Tracking Unit to its law enforcement capabilities, but there are many factors to consider. These include whether cows are versatile enough for various police tasks or if they are only useful for finding hidden suspects, whether cows are more cost-effective than K-9 dogs, how cows will be transported to crime scenes, and if this is compatible with the town's sustainability goals regarding vehicle types and methane emissions. Additionally, the cost of training, veterinary care, ballistic vests, and other expenses for the cows must be taken into account.
