Herd of dependents found grazing in local supermarket

Filed · 1543

FAYETTEVILLE, NC — A herd of dependents were found in the Fayetteville Harris Teeter early Sunday morning, having escaped from the confines of Fort Bragg.

“It’s a combination of two things,” said Cumberland County Sheriff Earl R. Butler. “Their normal food source is closed and the post isn’t repairing the fence line like they should. Both are on account of ongoing problems stemming from the government shutdown.”

The Sheriff’s Department is trained to respond to dependents who wander into urban areas, but nobody can remember an incident of this scale.
