Fishkill Police Chase Down Unusual Group of Escapees

Another exciting weekend in the Hudson Valley, and yet another one of those moments where if you happened to be driving down one of our local roads you may have had to slow down or stop to take a double take. Did I just see what I think I did?

All In A Day's Work In Fishkill

The Town of Fishkill Police Department had an interesting Sunday afternoon. I wonder if the academy prepares officers for this type of pursuit.

On Sunday, August 16th, town police posted on social media about some 'escapees roaming around town.'

If they are yours, give our desk a call and we can fill you in on the rest of the details.

I think the little guy all the way to the left in this photo looks kind of suspicicous.

Naturally, the comment section of their post on Facebook did not disappoint, with people calling dibs on certain animals pictured in the photo while others suggested local farms that may be missing some of their four-legged friends.

There was even one very creative comment from a local resident who provided a hysterical parody news story play-by-play.

REMEMBER WHEN: These Pigs Went Hog Wild in this New Paltz Neighborhood

Back In The Barn & Accounted For

Following a short pursuit, the Town of Fishkill Police Department provided an evening briefing on the great [farm] escape of 2026:

Update as of 5:30 pm: After a bit of a foot pursuit, all subjects were taken into custody and are now safely back in their barn.

Thanks to all the citizens who helped get these guys back home!

I'm just wondering which one in this mischievous crew was the ring leader to round up the rest of the gang and break out. Regardless, to the Town of Fishkill PD, thank you for making sure that ALL of Fishkill's residents are safe and accounted for!
