A group of young squirrels are recovering after getting their tails tied together. The six eight-week-old squirrels got themselves tangled up when their tails became covered in sap from a tree. After wrestling around in their nest for a bit the tails got knotted together. Resident Craig Luttman noticed the squirrels’ struggle and describes it as “kind of like a tug of war, going in completely opposite directions.” He called Nebraska Wildlife Rehab who were able to untangle them and remove the sap after giving them a mild painkiller to help with the pain. Director Laura Stastny says some of the squirrels suffered some injuries to their tails, but all six will be released back into the wild in just a few short weeks.

STUPID CRIMINALS:

The owners at Mugshots.com are facing criminal charges of extortion and laundering for charging people fees to have their mugs removed. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra is upset about the website’s “de-publishing fee” (which they’re charging people to remove mugshots from the site). “This pay-for-removal scheme attempts to profit off of someone else’s humiliation,” Becerra says. “Those who can’t afford to pay into this scheme to have their information removed pay the price when they look for a job, housing, or try to build relationships with others. This is exploitation, plain and simple.” Becerra argues that some of the victims were never charged with a crime. Others have asked to have their mugs removed, only to be told no. His office alleges the website brought in at least $64,000 in removal fees from 175 people in California. David Ferucci, attorney for site argues the photos are a matter of public record.

Police in Florida were able to nab their fleeing suspect when his pants fell all the way down to his ankles. Tobias Smith tried to evade cops during an attempted traffic stop and ended up leading them on a chase around town. He seemingly crashed into everything; another car, a power pole, a fence and a barber shop. He then abandoned his vehicle and began to run on foot…until his pants fell to the ground, which gave police just enough time to arrest him. Tobias has been charged with leaving the scene of a crash, fleeing and eluding, driving with a suspended license, and resisting arrest. The barbershop suffered $3-thousand in damages.
