Mickey Paulk, 35, was wanted for possession of an illegal firearm, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

An Alabama man who authorities said kept a meth-fueled "attack squirrel" in his apartment was arrested Thursday on multiple felony warrants unrelated to the squirrel.

Narcotics investigators found Mickey Paulk, 35, while they were conducting surveillance at a hotel in Killen, according to the Limestone County Sheriff's Office. Paulk was arrested after he fled on a stolen motorcycle and rammed an investigator's vehicle.

Good that they got him.

I hope they will be able to treat the squirrel so it recovers after all the drugs this crazy person fed it.

Most squirrels are already nervous and hyper by nature. That’s where the term ‘squirrely’ comes from.

In college we used to feed squirrels candy. It gave them a sugar rush that was hilarious to watch...

You really don't want to know about the 75 squirrels I dispatched for the crime of eating my tree-ripe peaches, pears, apricots and apples. Those rats breed faster than rabbits and devour everything around.

On a Coast to Coast radio show last year (when I was awake with insomnia) had a woman guest who makes mind links to communicate with animals. (Yes, I’m laughing to remember this).

She said of all the animals, the squirrels are the most complex and difficult to listen to. They absorb input from all over the place at one time. their multiplex minds observe the people,the smell of food such as seeds or a scrap of bread, the treetops,a dog in a yard and lots more all at once.

I will have to take her word for it. Think of them on meth, too. Wow.

Is there actually a law on the books criminalizing giving meth to a squirrel?

Or perhaps a more general law prohibiting giving meth to any animal?

I have a home nearby. Fake NBC news. The man admitted he never fed meth to the squirrel and the cops let it go.

On FR, we never kid. Except when we want a good laugh.

The earlier thread on this topic had memes I still laugh about: a SWAT squirrel to catch the bad guy. The squirrel using a machine gun.

What is the world coming to when you can’t have an attack squirrel in your apartment? My only surprise is he’s not in my city.

I saw squirrel begging for change to get a fix yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes. I guess the current war on drugs is not working.

Reminded me of an old saying by Confucius regarding the difference between a squirrel and a man. I think it goes something like:

“A squirrel sits on a rock and cracks nuts all day.”
“A man sit on crack all day and rocks nuts.”

You and me both. We have a macadamia nut tree, but it’s alot of work to nail those bastards. The ones that come early are easy pickings, but the ones that keep coming later on seem to be more aware and harder to pick off. Any tips?

Ha. That’s pretty good. Like a reversible jacket, the statement works both ways.

I tried a lot of things, but this was the recipe that worked for me...
1) Small Hav-a-Hart trap
2) Bait it with peanut butter and sunflower seeds stuck in the peanut butter. It was irresistible to them.
3) A LARGE gardening bucket filled with water.
4) Plastic bags.
5) Your weekly trash pickup. Your can may be heavy at first.

Following all the humane advice I found about “disposal,” I drove the first couple of catches ten miles into the mountains and let them go. That was 40 miles of driving that took about 90 minutes and burned almost $20 of gas. It didn’t take long for me to think “This is nuts! What a waste of time and gasoline.” From what I’ve read, most critters you relocate will die anyway because they are not welcome in another critter’s territory.

I also learned you don’t want to hit the with a high-speed .177 pellet. It goes right through them and they run into your neighbor’s yard to die.

multiple felony warrants unrelated to the squirrel.

There's a charge you don't often see.

“I hope they will be able to treat the squirrel so it recovers after all the drugs this crazy person fed it. “

indeed. I heard that they sent the squirrel to the special unit for drug-addicted animals at the Betty Ford Center for Drug Rehabilitation ... so sounds to me like the squirrel will be in very good hands ...
