Police Officer Fired After Shooting and Pepper Spraying Squirrel

MOUNTAIN CITY, TN (WBIR) – A Tennessee police officer has been fired after displaying heavy force in an attempt to rid a Dollar General Store of a squirrel. The incident occurred last Thursday in Mountain City, when according to police documents, now-former Officer Jody Putnam found himself at the right place at the right time. Or the wrong place at the wrong time. Documents state that Putnam happened to be inside the Dollar General Store at the same time employees noticed a squirrel. That’s when Putnam sprang into action, discharging his firearm at the squirrel inside the store. Unsuccessful, he moved on to option 2: pepper spray.
"There was a lot of people that come out and just like me they came out and they were coughing and a hacking," Carl Duffield told WJHL-TV. "It was comical, but I’m sure they didn’t feel that way – the customers that came out."
In Mountain City, whenever officers discharge their weapons, they are required to alert their supervisors and provide a written statement. Putnam refused to file a report and was subsequently fired by the town’s Board of Mayor and Alderman.
No information was given as to the condition of the squirrel other than the fact that he was dead.
Unfortunately this is the type of LOE who would bust a Bell Hop with 3 Joints in his sock!!!!!! :stoned :stoned
It’s really kind of sad. I worked pest control/wildlife management for over 20 years, and this would have been a simple catch and release or a matter of two techs flushing the varmint toward an open door. This is why people are trained and licensed to do their own job and not someone elses. One of the companies I worked for held the Dollar General contract. Their contract was a premium one and we were on call 24/7 for their needs. Went into many an establishment and reported plumbing/construction/electrical issues to clients but never mitigated those items because it was not my responsibility/liability/area of certified expertise. Oh yeah, it is also possible I would have effed something up big time and [glow=red,2,300]GOTTEN FIRED![/glow]
