In this body camera footage from Wednesday, Aug. 28, a Lawrence police officer holds onto a runaway goat after getting a lasso on it.

With some impressive lasso work, Lawrence police have managed to catch a four-legged runaway who’s been on the loose in Lawrence — a brown-and-white goat.

On Thursday, the department posted the body camera video from Wednesday afternoon on social media. It shows an officer using a lasso to catch the goat, which the department said had been “darting across streets and through town” for days.

The video starts with the goat standing in a narrow space between two houses as a woman puts out food for it. As an officer slowly walks up to the goat, it backs itself up against a fence, then tries to bolt past the officer — but he manages to get a lasso around its neck to keep it from running away.

“I’m so impressed with you right now,” another officer tells him as the woman soothes the bleating goat.

The posts didn’t say who the woman was or whether she was the goat’s owner, but it’s clear she’s relieved that the goat is safe.

“You’re gonna be OK now,” she tells the goat; then she shows the officers where to find the goat’s harness.

“Oh my God, I’m so glad we got her,” she says.
