Police in Canton say sightings of the animal were reported Monday in Canton and nearby Louisville. A dispatcher told The Associated Press early Tuesday that police believe the mountain lion escaped from an exotic animal farm in the area.
Police Sgt. Les Marino tells The Repository newspaper of Canton that residents should be cautious and call 911 if they see the big cat.
He says police are being helped in the search by sheriff's deputies, county park rangers and state troopers using a Highway Patrol helicopter. But Marino says nothing has been found.
