Since officers were unable to transport the animal back to headquarters, they called the mounted division who brought a horse trailer to transport the pony.

“Officers called mounted division, and they came out with their trailer and the pony, horse, whatever it is – is comfortably in Clarkston, Michigan,” Fitzgerald said.
