A billy goat bolted from his owner Monday on Montclair Road, baaafling police and witnesses in Birmingham and Mountain Brook.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the goat is still on the loose.

The adventure began around 8:30 a.m. Monday, when Birmingham police responded to a report of a goat in the 800 block of Montclair Road. Officers were assisted by Mountain Brook police

“Apparently he keeps popping in and out,” said Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald. “He is on the loose, but out the public’s eye.”

Trevor Turnbough, a project engineer at Sterling Highlands spotted the goat Monday morning at the company’s construction site on Montclair Road trotting by his trailer.

Turnbough then recorded video of the goat when the animal’s owner walked up to the site’s entrance. He said the owner told him the goat jumped out of the owner’s window.

“I offered to help because the goat was moving fast, already about halfway down our site,” the project engineer said. “I jumped in my truck to try and cut the goat off, but he made it out of our second entrance. The owner was still chasing right behind him. I tried to block the goat with my truck, but I think he saw his reflection in my driver side door, cocked his head forward, and started charging full speed to ram my truck! I quickly threw it in reverse and got out of the way. The goat kept running.”

Turnbough then returned to work, but it wasn’t his last encounter with the goat.

“I was sitting at a light on the corner of 52nd street and Montclair when a police officer roared into the middle of the intersection. Another one quickly followed but on the corner. Sure enough, here comes the goat at a almost a fast jog letting out a ‘Ble-E-E-E-eh’ goat sound,” he said.

The owner then sprinted by the scene as three more police vehicles approached, Turnbough said.

“The owner and I locked eyes for a second and I could tell he was not happy,” he said. “I felt bad because at this point he had been sprinting after the goat for over two hours.”

On Tuesday, the goat was spotted again by Turnbough several times on the hill in front of the construction site.

Mountain Brook said it got another goat sighting call Monday night “but it ran from officers shortly after they arrived.”

Bill Voigt said he witnessed the goat Monday night running through his backyard on Fairmont Drive.

“Anyone missing a large white goat, black accent markings around head, and with horns?” he asked on social media:

Mountain Brook police said it did not receive any reports of the goat on Tuesday, adding that the animal has mostly been spotted in Birmingham police’s jurisdiction.
