Overview

• Penobscot County deputies responded around 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 30 in Etna after an urgent report of a woman in distress.
• Following cries along nearby railroad tracks, an officer traced the sound to Oak Shade Farm.
• The culprit was Simon, a one-year-old Nigerian dwarf goat owned by Devon Hawes.
• Hawes said the goat gets food and care but "has a lot to say," and the couple posted about the visit on Facebook.
• Officials reported no injuries or enforcement actions, describing the incident as an unusual but harmless false alarm.
