That's according to a post on the agency's Facebook page.

According to the post, the big cat was spotted at approximately 5:30, 7:30, and 8:15 on Saturday morning [Oct. 17].

According to the post "Despite several sightings, deputies were unable to safely capture and relocate the mountain lion. It repeatedly crossed property lines, went beneath porches, and moved near children and livestock. With no safe opportunity to contain it, deputies had to euthanize the animal."
