A miniature equine “suspect” led police on a stray pony chase through a neighborhood in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, last month.
The runaway horse’s owner was later found by police and the pony was identified as 4-year-old Knight, Tuscaloosa Police Department (TPD) stated on Facebook on March 28.

TPD released bodycam footage of the foot chase that ensued after officers responded at around 10 p.m. on March 20 to reports of a horse hanging out in Alberta neighborhood.
