A llama briefly went on the llam Wednesday in east Georgia.
Authorities in Oconee County, in between Atlanta and Athens and Augusta, were inundated with phone calls from the pesky press. Chief Deputy Lee Weems posted a lengthy and rather humorous recap of the story - which has an incredible twist and a happy ending.
" Around 4 p.m., dispatch notified me that someone had reported 'a baby camel' running loose in Epps Bridge Road. Our deputies are not trained in South American camelid identification, but they quickly determined that the animal in question was actually a llama.
The good chief deputy seemed amused at all the media interest, deadpanning, "Based upon the number of media outlets that are calling about the llama, I can only surmise that President-Elect Trump must not have tweeted anything, so, now they are scrambling for a story."
