(La Porte County, IN) - Police rounded up a wandering pony in La Porte County yesterday.

Late in the morning, two Indiana State Police troopers responded to a report of a pony in the median of the Indiana Toll Road outside La Porte. Upon arrival, police said the pony was not there.

After a more than half hour search, the troopers spotted the pony along a fence line on the southern edge of the Toll Road but the pony took off running.  Eventually, the officers were able to catch up and grab the pony, which had become tangled in some vines.

The pony was returned to its owner with help from the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office.
