Summary:
A zebra escaped from an Jennifer Caudill, whose family runs a traveling circus. The zebra was spotted grazing behind a neighbor’s RV. Police were unable to contain the zebra within the neighborhood, and it was next seen along a highway. One driver said the zebra ran into the driver’s side of his truck, shattering the side mirror glass and sending shards flying. The sheriff’s office aviation unit was called in, and they helped deputies on the ground corral and capture the zebra, who was then returned to its owner. This is the second time Caudill’s zebras have escaped; the first was in Philadelphia in 2015.
