Oregon Sheep Outsmarts Police: Beaverton’s Fleece Fugitive Evades Capture Twice

Oregon sheep, notorious for its double escape in Beaverton’s Murray Hill, left police chasing wool in broad daylight while “How do sheep get lost?” and “Do sheep recognize owners?” surged online. Officers posted, “Have you lost your sheep? If so it’s living its best life in the Murray Hill neighborhood of south Beaverton. We would love to help you corral it.”
Living its best life on Beaverton lawns, the sheep’s escapade ended with police Facebook pleas and a reunion that inspired viral queries like “What to do if my sheep escapes?” and “Can sheep survive in the city?” Imagine a sheep sunbathing on a cul-de-sac while officers negotiated its surrender.
Police confirm the legendary Beaverton sheep was safely wrangled and returned home—after spending 48 unapologetic hours as the neighborhood’s most wanted woolly fugitive.
