Title: Man arrested for assaulting beaver Post by: sprite75 on September 06, 2018, 09:45:42 AM And for once it wasn't Florida Man, but his northwestern cousin (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/animals/beaver-assault-649235) Washington Man.
Quote According to investigators, the animal was run over by a car in park in Kennewick, a city just north of the Oregon border. Upon seeing the animal get hit, a female witness wrapped the beaver in a towel and went to her residence to retrieve a container in which to place the injured animal. When the woman returned to the park, she discovered a man--whose pants were unzipped--atop the beaver. The witness called 911. Rennewick Police Department officers responding to the park then arrested Richard Martin Delp, 35. A police briefing newsletter offered this synopsis: “35 year old male was seen assaulting a dead beaver.” Delp, cops say, “admitted to the crime.” A search subsequent to Delp’s arrest turned up methamphetamine. Charged with animal cruelty and narcotics possession, Delp is being held without bail in the Benton County jail. |
