Sheriff’s Office Zebra Update: It’s still on the loose!

Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office Zebra Update:

   A zebra who disappeared from its owner is still on the loose.
Rutherford County Sheriff’s Cpl. Zach Campbell said the owner brought the zebra home Friday night and reported the animal missing Saturday.

  The zebra scampered through a subdivision on Epps Mill road near Rankin Drive and Aldridge Drive and Cliffside Drive before entering Interstate 24 near the Buchanan Road exit.

                Deputy Ryan Keach located the zebra near the interstate and shut down one lane of traffic for travelers’ safety.

After the zebra crossed the interstate, deputies closed both the eastbound lanes toward Chattanooga and the westbound lanes toward Nashville.

                The owner responded to the scene and chased the zebra who ran into a wooded area.

                People who spot the zebra are asked to call the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office at 615-898-7770.
