Tacoma Deputies Step up to Wrangle Loose Horses in McKinley Area, Ensuring Highway Safety

This past Tuesday night, Tacoma deputies—who usually don’t deal with livestock—were summoned to the McKinley area because of reports of animals on the loose, which put them in an unexpected scenario. Around 10:46 p.m., our deputies had to intervene unexpectedly to maintain roadway safety and help control the stray horses, according to a report on the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department blotter.

The Mountain and Foothills Detachments typically handle these animals, and their regular equipment includes ropes and lassos. Even though Tacoma deputies don’t often deal with big animals on the road, they were able to maintain order until the owners showed up. “Our job at that point was just to make sure other vehicles didn’t hit the animals as the owners corralled the animals,” the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department said.

In order to settle the dispute and ensure the safety of the locals, the deputies were able to effectively return the horses to their owners. “Your deputies cleared the call with two in custody despite the fact that we needed some assistance. In a blog post, the Sheriff’s Department said, “Good job, everyone. Although it was out of the ordinary for Tacoma deputies, it gave their public safety responsibilities some variation.
