The squirrel was later arrested on two counts of being a squirrel and suspicion of being a dog. The store owner was arrested on a count of accessory being a squirrel.

19 years of law enforcement experience and this is what we get. Surprised he didn’t unclip the shotgun or AR-15 patrol rifle from his cruiser and don some tactical gear to go after the poor creature.

Wouldn’t a phone call to animal control have been a more appropriate police response?

It was lucky for the storekeeper and customers this officer responded so quickly and was able to confront the rampaging squirrel. God only knows what havoc this beast may have wrought unopposed.

“Police records said Putnam refused to fill out a report, which is required when an officer fires a service weapon.”

Sounds like he wasn’t fired for shooting, but for not filling out a report.

Maybe he mistook the squirrel for somebody’s pet dog.

Since no charges were filed, free to apply at other agencies.

Why didn’t he try nuts? Squirrels are nuts for nuts! Crazy I tell you! LOL! Seriously, when I use to live in New York city they would climb up my fire escape and come right into my apartment for peanuts then leave.

Maybe the squirrel was just in there because he clipped a bunch of coupons.
