Critter chewed its way into house, snacked on sweets until cops caught it
A squirrel attacked a police officer in upstate New York who was investigating a break-in. An officer in Brockport, about 20 miles west of Rochester, recorded the animal aggression Friday (Dec. 29) on a body camera.
“Brockport police were called to a residence for a squirrel that had broken into the house, reportedly eating cookies in the kitchen,” the Police Department wrote on its Facebook page . “Officers Sime and Dawson arrived on scene but were not at all expecting the warm welcome they would receive from the squirrel.
“The squirrel was ultimately captured by officers and released without injury. The homeowner was very relieved that [her] uninvited guest was set free. Brockport police will always go the extra mile to help their residents.”
The homeowner, Susan Zinck, told WHAM television that the furry intruder had chewed its way into her house through a bathroom wall while she was in another room. “I heard the music on, and I said, ‘I didn’t turn my radio on.’ I thought, ‘What’s going on?’ I looked out, and this stinking squirrel is out here eating my cookies.”
She called 911 and armed herself with a fly swatter. Three officers arrived, eventually caught the squirrel behind the kitchen stove and released it outside the house.
