Drug Suspect's Pet Squirrel Attacks Officer
Officer: 'The Claws Are Very Sharp'

A police officer in Massachusetts was treated at a hospital after a drug suspect's squirrel attacked him during an attempted arrest, according to a Local 6 News report.

"The claws are very sharp, I guess he mistook me for a tree," officer Dwayne Flowers said. "The squirrel was moving at such speed, I didn't see it and neither did my partner standing shoulder-length away from me."

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.

"The claws are very sharp, I guess he mistook me for a tree," officer Flowers said. "The squirrel was moving at such speed, I didn't see it and neither did my partner standing shoulder-length away from me."

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.

"He had a good chuckle," Flowers said. "I tried raising him on the radio but they couldn't answer their radio call because they were too busy laughing"

Flowers injuries from the attack were considered minor.

That article was written by a moron. They used the same quote twice (an absolute no-no in journalism) and not only that, but the quote was so close to itself as well.

Other than that, I say yes, get that chipmunk movin'.
