WHEELING, W.Va. - Call it a case of pignapping. Police found a missing potbellied pig early Wednesday in the back seat of a car that had been reported stolen in eastern Ohio.
The car's owner, who wasn't identified, had told the Belmont County (Ohio) sheriff's office that the pet pig was in the vehicle when it was stolen Tuesday afternoon from a restaurant parking lot in St. Clairsville, Ohio, according to a Wheeling police report.
Wheeling officers began following the car after they saw a man stagger to it at an intersection. They stopped the car after it allegedly swerved several times and hit curbs.
William N. Ward, 50, of St. Clairsville, was jailed on charges of receiving stolen property, driving under the influence and driving on a license revoked for a prior DUI.
Police contacted animal control officers to take the pig.
