Be on the lookout says CNN:
The suspect is furry. Only a couple of feet long. Two big teeth. And, it would seem, he has it in for the people of the American Northeast. He’s Punxsutawney Phil, and he’s a wanted groundhog, according to police in Merrimack, New Hampshire.
Fed up with the more than 4 feet of snow their region has gotten this winter, police issued a tongue-in-cheek arrest warrant for the notorious whistlepig.
“We have received several complaints from the public that this little varmint is held up in a hole, warm and toasty,” the department posted on its Facebook page. “He told several people that Winter would last 6 more weeks, however he failed to disclose that it would consist of mountains of snow!
“If you see him, do not approach him as he is armed and dangerous,” the department said. “Call Merrimack Police, we will certainly take him into custody!”
Phil isn’t the only groundhog with a record this year. Wisconsin’s version of Phil, Jimmy, bit the mayor of Sun Prairie this month, according to CNN affiliate WISC.
