This troublesome pig was made for the camera.

The shot shows a photogenic pig in Michigan in the back of a Shelby Township Police cruiser, which the department shared on its Facebook page

"I don't have the full story yet, but one of the guys on the road just sent me this.....one in custody," the department said in its post. "Can't wait to hear all about THIS caper."
