Title: Florida thief stuffs weapon-ferret down trousers

Police say a Florida man stole a live ferret from a pet shop by stuffing it down his trousers.

...

A 17-year-old witness confronted Bolton about the ferret-theft in the car park as he tried to leave - and was bitten by the animal after Bolton allegedly pushed it in the teen's face.


Technically, under Florida law, that makes the ferret a 'special weapon', with the result that Bolton also faces battery charges for dangerously wielding the animal.

I expect the perp will weasel out of this with the help of a lawyer.

Oh, but he won't get too fur.

I'm not to sure, if he has a good enough tail to tell he may just succeed.

Really? I think he'll escape it by a whisker.

Oh, I dunno. I suspect they'll analyze the bite marks and confirm that the bite marks on the perp (which simply HAVE to be there) match those on the victim.

Unless, of course, the perp has nothing in his trousers for the critter to bite....

I'm not sure the police would be game for that.
