“Llama drama! Our officers are prepared for anything. That doesn’t mean we’re still not surprised when we get a unique call for service. Always ready to give chase when a suspect flees, our officers and animal protection police (APP) encountered a nimble, furry suspect Sunday night. A passerby saw a llama out for a jog on the Fairfax County Pkwy near Popes Head Road. After eluding our officers, the llama was found in a backyard and safely taken secured by APP. A trailer was brought to safely transport the llama to the animal shelter.”
