After weeks on the run, police in one Bucks County community said that a slippery swine has been safely caught.

In a post on social media, Bensalem Township Police joked that the pig named "Porky" was charged with fleeing and eluding officers.

Porky was captured with a special trap on Tuesday, Dec. 17 in the area of Newport Mews Drive, police said. He was taken to the Ross Mill Pig Farm in Jamison to be treated by a veterinarian before he put up for adoption.

In photos shared by the police department, officers were seen posing next to Porky who was in a carrier in the back of a car.
