Alleged drunk driver blames the hungry squirrel under his shirt

When police pulled over 23-year-old Florida resident Warren Thomas Michael III after watching his silver pickup truck swerving all over the road, they figured they were dealing with a drunk driver. In fact, Michael did register a .156 blood-alcohol level, well over the state's legal limit. But apparently something else was at play as well: There was a small squirrel under Michael's shirt, which he told police was "eating" him. It is unclear how significant a role the apparently hungry rodent played in Michael's reckless driving, but we do know one thing: The squirrel, which police eventually released into the custody of Michael's girlfriend, was not charged.
