Goats and Walleye all in a day’s work for OPP

It isn’t all traffic accidents for the men and women of the OPP. This week they rounded up a goat romping along a road north of Belleville. His fellow escapee knew enough to get home by himself. 680 News comedian Carl Hantske asked if they were charged with making a ewe turn.
