Smiling porcine’s photo goes viral — after pooping in cop’s car

Debbie DeRiemaecker was minding her own business last Thursday evening, doing a bit of yard work, she says. Out of nowhere, or so it seemed, a pig came running into her back yard, charging right at her. Then the porcine interloper chased her into the front yard.

DeRiemaecker had one of those decorative “gazing balls” in a side bed of her front yard, and the paunchy porcine was distracted by the ball’s beauty and halted the chase. That was the last straw. DeRiemaecker called 911.

The decorative  gazing ball  created a distraction for Daisy.

Deputy Chief Mark Coil told WWJ’s Pat Vitale, “You would never believe it. Just when you think after 25 years in the business you’ve seen it all, you get a call from a shift commander telling you that we have corralled a pig.”

Shelby Township Police Officer Kevin Treworgy responded to the scene and using a “dog pole,” was able to detain the animal. Treworgy decided to remove the pig from the scene, and placed her in the back seat of his patrol car. Big mistake!

In hindsight, the police officer now realizes it was a mistake to confine Daisy, that’s her name by the way, inside the patrol car. Daisy not only relieved herself on the backseat, but she kicked the poop all over the back of his police cruiser. But to add insult to injury, she smiled about it.

The pig defecated all over the back of the police cruiser.

Treworgy took photos and video of the pig smiling and snorting with disdain at her captor. “Yep, that is in my Shelby Township police car,” said Treworgy in a video uploaded on the police department’s Facebook page.

“Now we know why that pig is smiling in the first pic! Lol,” wrote the Shelby Township Police Department, posting an image of the aftermath.

All’s well that ends well, as the saying goes, and Daisy was reunited with her owner. The grateful owner was also gracious enough to clean the back of the police cruiser, too.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend Karen Graham, who served as Editor-at-Large at Digital Journal. She was 78 years old. Karen's view of what is happening in our world was colored by her love of history and how the past influences events taking place today. Her belief in humankind's part in the care of the planet and our environment has led her to focus on the need for action in dealing with climate change. It was said by Geoffrey C. Ward, "Journalism is merely history's first draft." Everyone who writes about what is happening today is indeed, writing a small part of our history.
