By Jerry Askin� � � � � � After a number of calls from concerned citizens -- about a huge hog on the loose in Harrison, we went looking.� And sure enough Thursday, we found the black and white curly-tailed creature roaming around on Garfield Lane off of Highway 58.It's been here for several months. We've actually gotten used to it, says Stacy Scoggins.We spotted the hog in Stacy Scoggins front yard.� � No one we talked to know where it came from, but many nearby residents have speculations.We've been told it's a pot belly hog and we figured somebody got it and it got too big and they just let it go, says Scoggins.And while she's concerned about the hog's safety....I don't want the hog to get hit by a car or anyone to wreck their car, or possibly get injured in a wreck with her being out here in the road, says Scoggins.Others say.. the hog has to go.He is not a pet, so he needs to be caught or shot, but we can't shoot something like that, says Johnathan Medlen.For Myra Williams, she's concerned about the safety of her children and others.I don't know if it would be attacked by the hog or what. I know my son will be scared, says Myra Williams. Thursday, we called the Hamilton County Humane Society.�
