The officer helped corral a runaway peacock on Sheepfield Farms Drive last Saturday.

The pheasant lives on Baileys Mill Road became frightened by another animal and took off around 1:45 p.m., Chief Erik Heller said.

A nearby resident called in a wandering pheasant, bringing Resciniti to the scene.

The officer grabbed the peacock with a net and returned him to his owner.
