Police report attempt to revive flattened opossum

By Jason Kessler, CNN

A Pennsylvania man attempted to resuscitate "a road-killed opossum," state police say.

But this was one possum who wasn't playing possum -- the ugly creature remained dead.

Troopers responding to the scene in Oliver Township on Thursday determined that Donald J. Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, was drunk, according to the police report.

Several witnesses observed Wolfe's failed resurrection of the flattened marsupial, police said. It was not immediately clear how he endeavored to restore the possum's life.

The arresting officer in the incident was unavailable for comment Friday. Attempts to reach Wolfe were also unsuccessful.

Wolfe will be charged with one charge of public drunkenness, police said.



and so it goes.

I read this in our local paper today & all I could say was, "Yuck!" They said in the paper that the opossum had been dead for a while, so CPR wasn't probably going to work anyway. :laugh

Boy, is this guy going to take a ribbing or what!
