Paramus Police Department Corrals 'Disorderly' Goat

PARAMUS, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A "disorderly" goat has been corralled in Bergen County, police said.

Authorities are now trying to determine who owns the wayward animal.

Two Paramus police officers apprehended the small white goat shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday, after receiving a call that the animal was head-butting a door.

The goat apparently was not injured in the incident. It was being cared for at a local animal facility.

Authorities suspect that the animal likely escaped from a local residence.

Police are asking anyone with information about the goat to call the department at 201-262-3400.
