Bull on the loose in Charlotte after severe storms
A bull escaped from a pasture in Charlotte after storms passed through Monday night in North Carolina.
Posted — UpdatedOn Tuesday morning, the ACC’s field operations manager returned to Moores Chapel Road with a drone, but did not spot the bull. As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, there have been no additional reported sightings of the bull.
People called the ACC on Monday night after seeing the escaped bull. Authorities said the bull was spooked by the severe weather and escaped from a pasture to an enclosed area.
On Monday night, the bull’s owner tried to lasso and corral the bull with the help of police officers. Police gave the owner permission to neutralize the bull if necessary.
The bull ran into the woods, the ACC said.
The owner and police left the scene around 10:45 p.m. Monday.
Anyone who has seen the bull is asked to call 311 and should not attempt to corral the animal.
The ACC is also investigating to see if the owner has a current livestock permit.
In the 2023 season, the Durham Bulls have a 12-6 record against the Charlotte Knights.
