But there was something else a little different about this squirrel in particular. He’d come armed. Evidently, while making his rounds through backyards in the neighborhood, the squirrel happened upon a small knife someone had left out — and he decided to steal it. As Diamond looked on in amazement, the squirrel proceeded to wield the blade in an adorably intimidating manner. “I noticed he had something blue in...

The facts are uncontested: the police got a call from Munoz's family that he was off...
