Watertown officials warn about rogue raccoon that rushed resident
The town’s animal control officials are asking residents to keep their eyes peeled for the tailed transgressor.
There’s an aggressive assault suspect on the loose in Watertown. It doesn’t have any warrants, but it does have whiskers and a tail.
Watertown Animal Control warned residents Tuesday to be on the lookout for a rogue raccoon in the area of 140 Arsenal St. The furry fiend allegedly lunged at a woman and bit her pants before being kicked and running away, the department said on Facebook.
With the suspect still at large, animal control officials are urging anyone who sees a raccoon acting strangely to give them or the Watertown Police Department a call. Possibly in the hopes of avoiding a repeat offense, they reminded residents to be cautious around local wildlife.
