Birthday Pig Gives Cop on Circus Duty 'Circus' of His Own

Camden Courier-Post - June 16, 1933

It was "circus day" two or three places yesterday, including Motorcycle Policeman Russell Young's home, at 1260 Browning Street, and police headquarters — in fact, everywhere he went with his new pig, "Geraldine." Young was 29. "Geraldine" was the birthday gift from Acting Sergeant James Wilson. Presentation was at the circus lot, where Young was on duty. The pig enjoyed riding around all afternoon in Young's sidecar until hunger set it a squeal. Then it was another "circus" quieting the pet. Finally Young got a nursing bottle, some milk and got his gift to sleep and headed homeward, where "Geraldine" and her owner gave the folks a surprise party.
