Neptune Township police say an officer responded to a report of a pig running loose in the area of Routes 33 and 35.

"Upon arrival, he found 'Pork Roll' running hog-wild, most likely looking for an evening coffee and donut from Dunkin Donuts. He managed to catch the well-fed hog and take him into custody for questioning and to provide him with a job application as our new mascot," police said in a tongue-in-cheek Facebook post.
