Kicker: Australian resisting arrest in Canada

NICK EICHER, HOST: Police near Toronto ended a days-long chase.

AUDIO: So just after 3 a.m. our officers were on patrol.

Staff sergeant Chris Boileau told the Canadian Broadcast Company that he and his men were finally able to corner the runaway.

But she didn’t go quietly.

AUDIO: Only one of the officers is actually struck in the face during the apprehension, but he'll be just fine and we won't be continuing the investigation.

Struck in the face?

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Doesn’t sound very lady-like.

No, not very. But this was no lady. This was a kangaroo.

Turns out she got away while on her way to a zoo in Quebec. She’s now cooling her heels at the Oshawa Zoo near Toronto.

The officers posted online this was just another day-in-the-life that the matter was merely — wait for it — Roo-tine.
