With some citizen help, Powell police corralled a couple stray sheep at Homesteader Park last week.
The two sheep were originally reported by the fish pond around 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 6. Responding Powell Police Sgt. Paul Sapp spotted them “just sneaking along the fence line” near the RC race track; he quipped that they were “northbound, at a slow rate of speed.”
That’s when three young people at the nearby skate park — Jackson Booth, Levi Strickland and Alleigh Richardson — offered to lend a hand. With Sapp and Booth manning catch poles, the four “just walked [the sheep] into the corner and caught them up” near the city’s water tower, Sapp said. One animal was loaded into Sapp’s patrol vehicle, the other into Powell Police Officer Jason Pellegrino’s. The sheep were then shuttled to Powell Veterinary Services, where they were later claimed by their owner.
Between them, Sapp and Pellegrino had previously dealt with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, raccoons, bats, ravens, goats, salamanders, a turtle, a python, a bull snake and a badger, but this was their first time dealing with sheep in town.
