Drug Suspect's Pet Squirrel Attacks Officer


A police officer in Massachusetts was treated at a hospital after a drug suspect's squirrel attacked him during an attempted arrest. Officer Dwayne Flowers said he and his partner were attempting to arrest a woman wanted on drug charges in Leominister, Mass., when her loose pet squirrel attacked. Flowers drove to a hospital after the attack while other officers captured Spanky the squirrel and arrested its owner.

After the arrest, Flowers' partner laughed at the attack. Flowers injuries from the attack were considered minor. I just hope that Spanky is seen here in his cage and not behind prison bars...LOL...
