Area Police Kept Busy With Emu Roundup

In an unusual twist on routine police work, Palm Bay officers found themselves chasing down a runaway emu on Wednesday. The bird, apparently feeling a bit free-spirited, was spotted roaming the streets, prompting a quick response from local law enforcement. At least three officers teamed up to safely corral the feathered fugitive, with no harm done to the emu or any bystanders. Palm Bay Police remind residents: Keep your emus on a leash, or at least in the backyard.
