Runaway emu evades law enforcement
A runaway emu gave Illinois State Police the slip Tuesday as officers tried to capture the bird near Urbana. Police said there was a report of an emu on Interstate 74 after several drivers reported seeing the large bird. It isn’t the first time that an emu had been on the loose in the area. Last October, an emu was spotted in a neighborhood, but the bird was never captured. At that time, the emu was suspected to be one of a dozen emus that escaped a pen in Vermillion County. Three of those were never captured.
