According to the post, deputies received a call from a person "seeing a big cat with spots in an elevated position off the road in the Green Hills neighborhood." The caller explained the animal looked like a cheetah but wasn’t aggressive.

"I used my ninja-like skills to sneak up on the beast," the deputy said. "Of course, it sat there dumbfounded that I was able to get so close for a couple of photos. Turns out it was a stuffed animal!"
"Big cats are not uncommon in this area," the Sheriff’s Office wrote in a post. "But a possible cheetah, this was new for us."
