KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Basehor Police Department officers were just in time Wednesday morning to save a beaver from quite a predicament.
"Operation Free Bucky" was a go when officers were called to save the beaver, who was stuck in a wrought iron fence, according to a social media post from the department.
ACO Ashley Webb and Officer Ricky Bevell rescued the beaver, which the department named Justin Beaver, "from his temporary jail."
"After a brief respite to gather his wits, Justin flat-tailed..er...high-tailed it off to the nearby creek," the post said.
ACO Jessica Klinkenberg also was called away from her police clerk duties to help Justin.
"He made this a very exciting morning," Webb said responding to the post.
