I don't even know where to begin with this story, so here ya go:
There are so many things to wrap our heads around here, so let's narrow the details down to three important points:
- Dude had an attack squirrel.
- Dude named his attack squirrel Deeznuts.
- Dude reportedly fed meth to his attack squirrel named Deeznuts.
Now for more details:
The Alabama man who has denied allegations that he fed meth to an attack squirrel at his home will reportedly face additional charges—delaying his trial.
Mickey Joel Paulk, 39, was scheduled to appear in court next week to face charges of possession of a wild animal, stolen property and possession of a weapon by a felon after his initial arrest in June 2019, AL.com reported.
The bizarre case started in 2019, when deputies raided his Athens home and said they found meth, ammunition, and body armor. The paper reported that they also claimed to have found the squirrel and released it into the wild. Limestone County deputies said they were told that Paulk fed the animal meth, but said there was no safe way to test the animal, the report said.
Paulk maintained in this video (language warning) that Deeznuts is "not a trained attack squirrel" but that he's "bit a few people." He also maintained his innocence in the drug possession charges.
He might have a bit more trouble proving he's not a druggie, however, since he was arrested in December on new charges, delaying his initial trial until February. I really need to know if he'll talk with the judge about Deeznuts.
This might be the most Alabama thing I've ever seen.
