Police said they started getting calls just before 9 p.m. about a cow walking along Malone Street.

Crews had to temporarily shut down a portion of Hwy 67 in Midlothian Sunday due to cattle getting loose on the roadway.
The bull was "very agitated," and not helpful with attempts to get him in the trailer, police said.
The sheriff’s office got a veterinarian to come out, who then used a tranquilizer dart on the bull.
The bull was loaded in the trailer near Panhandle Street and Malone Street and returned to its owner.
