Buffalo Barges Through Edgewood Community

From KOAT-TV.com - EDGEWOOD, N.M. -- Edgewood residents got a noisy surprise Wednesday when a buffalo ran wild through the town. The wild beast even got the Torrance County Sheriff himself out to wrangle the critter. The buffalo was spotted about 8:30 a.m. in one of the town's subdivisions. "It zigzagged in and out of backyards and on roads," Sheriff Heath White said. Resident Irene Buynar looked outside to see the buffalo in her fenced-in backyard. "I might have a pet for the rest of the year," Buynar said. After about three hours of the buffalo being on the run, deputies began their first earnest attempt to catch the beast. Unfortunately the buffalo got spooked by their first try and they had to change tactics. White said this was buffalo No. 3 for his department this year. "We usually deal with outlaws of a different manner," White said. Deputies said the buffalo will be released back to the wild where it belongs. Investigators said it's unclear whom the buffalo belongs to. Read more
