Ohio police chase giant inflatable pumpkin ‘rolling through town’

Bodycam video from Parma Heights Police Department PARMA HEIGHTS, Ohio (TMX) — Police in Ohio “found themselves in hot pursuit” of an unusual suspect in the early hours of Wednesday morning: an enormous inflatable pumpkin. The Parma Heights Police Department said officers working early Wednesday had to chase a giant inflatable pumpkin that was “rolling through town.” Dashboard and body-worn camera video shared by the police department shows the moment an officer finally got hold of the pumpkin, with the help of a bystander. “I was kind of like, following it, and it kept blowing away, and when I went to grab it over here it just took off,” the officer tells another officer arriving at the scene. “I was pretty much in pursuit.” Together, they spend a few minutes trying to wrangle the seasonal décor into a vehicle, but it keeps “filling up.” “We’re currently struggling with it right now,” an officer says over his radio. “It’s not, it’s not cooperating.” The officers eventually managed to squash and stuff the pumpkin into the backseat of a patrol vehicle. “The pumpkin was quickly detained and returned to its owner without incident,” police said.The post Ohio police chase giant inflatable pumpkin ‘rolling through town’ appeared first on East Idaho News.
