Deputies demanded the suspect show his hands and get on the ground.
"He began to follow the commands when suddenly a skunk came running around the corner, approached Simonson, and released its well-known and malodorous spray before fleeing the area," the sheriff’s office said.
Simonson was taken into custody without further incident.
After deputies read him his rights, they said Simonson claimed that he was "wide awake and bored," so he went for a ride on his bicycle and noticed an open church window.
Deputies said he claimed to have gone home before returning on foot, removing a screen from the window and entering because he was "curious."
Simonson was booked into the Spokane County Jail for second-degree burglary. He was released later that day on his own recognizance

Which one was the real skunk?
One might say Karma works in mysterious and odiferous ways
The skunk got skunked.
“The skunk is a wild animal and not affiliated with law enforcement or the church,” the sheriff’s office advised.
Cute little side comment.
Vigilantes cannot be condoned....we are a nation of laws. Let the police do their work Mr. Skunk.

Funniest story I’ve read all day!
God's own skunk.
If this had happened in King County it would likely be this guy's only punishment too.
I knew there had to be a reason why God created the skunk!
I wonder if the police drew lots as to who would take him in their police car.
The Lord works in mysterious ways ...
Now I have to subject you to our white cat v skunk story... We had a rescue cat....pure white & deaf; her name was *Ruby*; she tangled with a skunk. At the time, the only way we knew to treat the smell problem was with tomato juice [before Nature's Miracle].
We got a couple of cans of tomato juice, put Ruby in the set sink and poured on the tomato blood.
If once is good, twice is better, no? *Lather, rinse, repeat.*
So Ruby got a second treatment. Yes, of course she fought, tooth & nail.
We rinsed her down and low & behold....the tomato juice acted like a dye....and her pure white fur was left pink. We dried her off.
BOY! Was Ruby mad at us! She scourned us for weeks after the ordeal. Poor thing.
That's our story and I'm stickin' to it. :(
With a name like “Ruby”, she should be red. Maybe another treatment is called for?
LOL! Cute kitty.
