STARK COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) - Deputies responded to an “unusual” call Tuesday, about a tortoise traveling down the road.

Stark County Sheriff deputies said the tortoise was making its way down 31st Street NE after escaping from its home.

The pursuit made it up to 0.2 mph and ended at the corner of Morris Avenue NE, said deputies.

“The tortoise, aptly named Journey, is now back home with his owner, hopefully dreaming of adventures that stick to sunny backyard trails,” posted Stark County Sheriff deputies on Facebook.
