Auburn Police reported detaining a goat that attempted to gain entry into a building, but ultimately charges were dropped.

The Auburn Police Department (APD) reported that in the morning of Jan. 11, officers were called to Wesley Homes, 32049 109th Place SE, a retirement community, for a very “baaa-d” situation.

“A goat was attempting to gain entry into the building, so officers responded and safely ‘detained’ the suspect until a friend of the owner arrived to pick her up,” APD stated.

APD stated that the goat’s name is Ruby. Her charges were dropped due to extreme adorableness, APD reported.
