Cops: Fla. man stole ferret by shoving it in pants

advertisement

" It's one thing for shoplifters to hide plunder in their pants. But a live ferret? Police said a homeless man in north Florida did just that. And he made it out the door before being challenged. Rodney Bolton, 38, was charged with theft over the $129 animal that police say he took from a pet store in Jacksonville Beach.

A 17-year-old witness confronted Bolton in the parking lot and was bitten by the animal after the man allegedly shoved it in the teen's face.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

This is hardly a Jean Valjean story of stealing bread during hard times. Could Victor Hugo have written a story about this situation? Perhaps a relentless search for Jean Valjean by an animal control officer could be used instead of Inspector Javert.

Who the hell would put a ferret in their pants?

Actually it strikes me as more of a Mel Brooks sort of story :)

Or Benny Hill.

Never a good idea to stuff a ferret down your pants, altho', as our local news anchor said, I'm not sure who was in more danger, the man or the ferret. :)
