LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) – Police say a drunken crowd tossed a dead squirrel around and tipped over a car in La Crosse this past weekend.

Lt. Brian Thomson says some college-age people began throwing a dead squirrel back and forth in the street near the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus on Saturday night, the second night of the city’s annual Oktoberfest celebration.

Police put a stop to the squirrel tossing, but were later called back to the area. Thomson says a crowd of hundreds that covered several city blocks had gathered and tipped over a car.

Thomson says the crowd righted the car at some point and many ran off as police approached. No one was hurt or arrested, although officers issued a number of citations for underage drinking, public consumption and urination.

Surprised another idiot college student didn’t end up as the latest victim of the mythical “serial killer” over the weekend.

Just another reason to legalize weed. Then maybe this type of thing wouldn’t happen.

Sick story–my son and I love our squirrels. When I see dead squirrels, birds, and bunnies I give them a decent burial.

No telephone booths, no public restrooms, and a lack of squirrel meat. No wonder this happened!
