It wasn’t a jailbreak, but police in southeast Wisconsin responded to a different kind of escapee Thursday morning—a loose kangaroo.
Just after 7 a.m., deputies were notified of a loose animal, possibly a kangaroo, in the 7500 block of 18th Street in Somers, Wisconsin, according to the Kenosha County sheriff’s department.
