A Cannon County man tending to loose hogs found himself in a little sloppy mess Wednesday afternoon, Cannon County Sheriff’s Deputy Travis Turney was dispatched to a residence on Bradyville Road. Upon arrival, Deputy Turney according to police reports spoke to Ms. Angie Seivers who stated that a large wild pig had been in her yard and had been digging up the property along with charging her. Large hoofprints and ruts in the yard were observed and as a result Deputy Turney took pictures. There were four puppies that did not belong to Ms. Seivers running around on her property. All the animals belonged to a Mr. Charles Anderson who lived close to Hopewell Road. According to the sheriff’s report Deputy Turney observed a hole in the fence area and a large pig weighing approximately 500 pounds charged after Deputy Turney. Turney then used a chemical agent to spray the pig and chased the dogs back onto the property. A little later that afternoon Anderson pulled onto the Hopewell Road property. Turney then made contact with him. Anderson admitted he didn’t have a drivers license and after a run on the tags of the truck it was found out they didn’t match up. Further investigation showed that the vin number came back as a truck that was stolen from a livestock yard in Putnam County. Mr. Anderson explained that a friend left the truck for him to work on and never picked it back up. Anderson was arrested and charged with animals at large, theft over $1000 and driving on a revoked.
