Man accused of owning meth-fueled ‘attack squirrel’ gets arrested

The Alabama man accused of owning an “attack squirrel” that dined on methamphetamine was arrested Thursday after a weeklong saga that included the suspect repossessing his pet squirrel and taunting police on social media.

Mickey Paulk, 35, has been on the run from police who raided a home guarded by Paulk’s pet squirrel, which they described as being on meth and trained to attack. Police did not find Paulk, who had warrants for drug and weapons charges, but they did find and release the squirrel into a wooded area near the house.
