LISBON The Ohio State Highway Patrol has released bodycam video of a recent capture in Columbiana County. However, it’s not some traffic violator or dangerous criminal that a Trooper helped round up, but you might say this pursuit involved “fowl play”.

A peacock named Kevin had been on the loose for two weeks when he was spotted on July 10 in the woods behind the patrol post on State Route 45 in Lisbon.

Trooper Derek Basinger kept the bird contained while dispatchers contacted the owner.

The trooper then chased Kevin out of the woods and into a clearing where the owner was waiting. With the help of some feed, the owner was able to grab the big, beautiful bird and take him back home.

The entire event was captured on Basinger's bodycam and was posted on the patrol's Facebook page
