The Manheim Township Police Department received numerous calls regarding the fugitive swine before officers finally were able to track it down Thursday morning at a home in Lancaster County, the department said in a post on its website. But finding the animal was only half the battle, as the department said it was ill-equipped to catch, contain and even transport a hog of that size.
