Goat Stolen From Springfield Fair

The petting zoo at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds was missing a baby goat for several hours Tuesday. Police say a girl tucked the five day old goat into her shirt and ran away.

Animal experts were worried about the health of the baby goat, stating goats of that age will die if separated from their mother for more than 24 hours.

The goat was returned early Wednesday morning, but the Springfield police department is conducting a full investigation.
