TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - A Pima County Sheriff's Deputy helped get a lost goat out of a sticky situation.

A few weeks ago, Deputy Matt Ford responded to a call but ended up rescuing a baby goat that was lost and fell into a cactus. Ford pulled the goat out and removed all the thorns, but says the goat was thin and in bad condition.

Ford could not locate the goat's owners, but a different county deputy stepped into to adopt him.

Deputy Courtney Rodriguez adopted the goat and named him Leroy Brown. She says he is now happy and healthy.
