TENNESSEE — A city-wide manhunt.
Social media sites filled with locals describing what they had just witnessed.
"People were calling in that it was in their yard, and the first part of the morning, officers would go check and wouldn't see him," Harriman police chief Baron Tapp said."And then somebody else would call and say, 'Hey, the Emu is in my yard now' or 'It's going over here over there.'" "The only thing we could do was put it on Facebook and just wait until somebody saw, and that did not disappoint," McKinney said.
