Officer gets smelly surprise after spying sweet but stinky stow away stuck in his trunk

Today’s Lighter Side Of The News…

REDDING — A local officer got a smelly surprise and had a strange story to share after a stinky situation nearly spiraled out of control following an apprehension last Saturday.

The curious and singularly unusual incident started after the constable snared a scandalous lassie and sequestered the squirrely charlatan at the Shasta slammer.

The shady scammer was shouldering a slew of satchels that could not be brought into the stockade with her, so the official was transferring the scoundrel’s substantial supply of personal assets to the station house for safekeeping.

While he was driving down the street with the suspect’s assorted chattels, he sensed a disturbance in the force when an offensive smell assaulted his schnoz and threatened to send his world spinning.

Barely making it into the station’s parking stalls, the officer decided to make a quick inspection of his car and search for the source of the superlative stench assaulting his sensitive sniffer.

While he was investigating the strong-smelling stuff and sweeping his official conveyance, the officer suddenly spotted with surprise the proverbial smoking gun when he spied a sweet but stinky stowaway snooping around inside the trunk of his squad car.

Not at all bothered after being discovered by the shocked but snickering officer, the sweet but smelly stinker was seen sniffing around the official’s sack lunch and shotgun shells, searching for some succulent snacks or another sweet sprayer to show his stinky snuffer to.

Safe, sound, and unscathed by his strange experience, the smelly stinker was later turned over to Shasta’s Haven Humane for re-housing to a safe spot more suitable for small but stinky skunklings.

The constable’s silly story later left his partners in stitches as he shared his spiel with his superiors in the squad room on Sunday about discovering the pint-sized surprise – a scent-sational story he will not soon dismiss.
