The Maine State Police and a turnpike maintenance crew rounded up these pigs at Maine Turnpike exit 28 northbound in Arundel. Shortly after, the pigs’ owners arrived and were working on a way to get them home. This story will be updated.
A Maine State Police trooper was able to keep a quartet of hogs off the Maine Turnpike on Thursday afternoon.
The hogs were reported alongside the Maine Turnpike, near the northbound lane, in Arundel, a state police dispatcher said. A trooper managed to keep the pigs away from the road until the owner could be located.
A maintenance crew spotted the hogs – a large gray pig and three smaller pigs – munching grass near mile 28.
The dispatcher said the owner was contacted after about 10 minutes and traffic was not affected.
