ASHLAND, Mass. —A call to police about a possible intruder has a hoppy ending.

Ashland police said in a Twitter post Friday night that they received a report of someone “banging on barrels and walking on the back deck.”

Police posted a mug shot of the suspect, which turned to be a large frog.

“After a short pursuit, one is in custody,” police said in a tweet.

I was trying to be ‘polite’.

HOWEVER, I did get somewhat ‘chastised’ and reminded it was a derogatory remark on FR Mail.

Person basically wanted to know the origin BUT ‘reminded’ me it wasn’t a nice thing to call someone.

Actually he's an alien frog that's here to conquer Earth.

Sgt. Frog

Keroro is Sergeant Frog – the leader of a platoon of warriors sent to conquer planet Earth. But when the amphibious invaders discovered how much humans enjoy dissecting their comrades, the troops were scattered, the mission was aborted, and Keroro was abandoned.

Now, this once proud soldier spends more time wielding a vacuum than he does the weapons of war. It’s a far cry from the glory of battle, but hey, at least he’s got his own room. And though the invasion may have slowed to a hop, Sergeant Frog still occasionally yearns to overcome his karaoke addiction and reassemble his troops. Watch out world, the frogs are taking over.
