Fugitive Pigs On The Loose!
Early this morning, a WHBL freight train carrying pigs derailed at the South Main Street crossing. Out from the wreckage emerged a virtual infestation of pigs. The animals scampered all over town and have been causing quite a commotion.
One of the porkers was stopped when it made a rather bold attempt to enter the Main Street Market. Market owner, Butch Erum, stopped the creature dead (literally) in its tracks. Butch will be having weekend pork chop sale.
Following the accident the WHBL engineer and conductor were detained and will be charged with Reckless Operations, Disturbing the Peace, twenty two counts of Failure to Properly Leash an Animal, and numerous violation of the health departments new "NO-dodo" ordinance.
Sye Lance, spokesman for the railroad, refused to comment on the event.
As expected, the Wingerter's Crossing City Council is up in arms over the incident and has promised to launch an investigation. "When we're done looking into this matter," said councilmen Les Moore,"I plan to make that railroad pay!"
Authorities have asked that any citizen spotting one of the fugitive beasts contact Butch Erum at the market.
