Three llamas were on the run Friday, loose in a Louisville neighborhood.
People who woke up to the unexpected guests didn't believe it. "My wife calls down and says there's a llama in the yard. I say you've gotta be kidding me. So I walked out there and walked out to the back and there she was" says Louisville resident Garner Traher.
Police were able to catch all three, their owner arrived quickly to take them back to the farm they live on. The owners say they believe the animals somehow escaped through an opening in the fence. "We weren't sure until we got back, but we found some beer bottles over in the field close to the barn and one of the gates had been kind of pushed open" says Dale Hill. "I don't think it was malicious, but I think probably some people decided to have a little party."
The owner says the llamas roam free on a 16-acre farm. He thinks whoever opened the gate didn't realize the llamas could get out. He plans to look into getting locks on the fences and possibly a horse fence around the perimeter.
