Deputies and police used horses and lassos to capture the bull, and authorities said no injuries were reported after the pursuit.
- On Friday, Alabama sheriff's deputies and the Carrollton Police Department wrangled a 1,500-pound bull in Pickens County after the animal got loose near a school.
- Authorities responded to Pickens Academy where the bull roamed through a residential area while officers on horseback attempted to corral it with lassos.
- The bull proved "less than cooperative," leading officers across Highway 17 and back again as they pursued the animal during the containment effort.
- After "a few slips and falls," the "oversized escape artist" was captured safely, the Pickens County Sheriff's Office confirmed, with no injuries reported.
- The office later joked that deputies were better off "patrolling the county" than trying to "make a living on the rodeo circuit" on social media.
