Sheriffs deputies had an unusual suspect in the back of their patrol squad car this week in Imperial Beach, San Diego, California. Lets just say fingerprinting him could be tough.
A sea lion pup wandered away from the shoreline on Wednesday and waddled five blocks to Mar Vista High School. School staff called in San Diego County sheriffs deputies to investigate.
Deputies detained the little guy, or put him in the back of the patrol car. Animal Control officers and SeaWorld workers arrived soon after to tend to the pup.
In a news release, sheriffs deputies jokingly described attempting to figure out the sea lions motive.
While deputy sheriffs attempted to interview him as to his activities, he clammed up and requested his lawyer, the news release said.
On a serious note, an increasing number of sea lion pups, in search of food, are washing up on California's shores and scientists have said they don't know the remedy.
Awwwww. No sea lion left behind?
Good thing the officers didn’t feel threatened...
He had his flippers up!
Looks like he enjoys the ride.
You think he'll tell the truth? Why do you think they call him a sea lyin'?

That sentence makes no sense. Do these idiots ever proofread?
