The Associated Press seems to have a flood of weird crime stories these days.
Check out the true crime story below:
>>Man with dead weasel accused of assault
HOQUIAM, Wash. – Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into an apartment and assaulted a man in Washington state.
The victim asked, “Why are you carrying a weasel?” Police said the attacker answered, “It’s not a weasel, it’s a marten,” then punched him in the nose and fled.
The attacker was apparently looking for his girlfriend and had gone to her former boyfriend’s apartment Monday where the victim was a guest.
KXRO reports he left the carcass behind.
Police later found the 33-year-old Hoquiam man arguing with his girlfriend at another location and arrested him after a fight.
He said he had found the marten dead near Hoquiam, but police don’t know why he carried it with him.
A marten is a member of the weasel family.<<
I guess it’s a good thing that no names were mentioned in this article! It protected both the innocent and the guilty!
Not sure if this is what happened to the weasel, but it could be. Check out this song from Weird Al Yankovic:
