When Shooting a Squirrel in Your Pants
There’s a lesson to this story that many politicians need to learn.
A Benton County sheriff’s officer says a 36-year-old Monroe man told deputies he was startled by a squirrel that ran up his left leg so he fired at it but hit his foot instead.
Sheriff’s Capt. Greg Ridler tells the Corvallis Gazette-Times that deputies contacted Ethan Bennett at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center and learned the story of the gunshot wound.
Ridler said Bennett did not kill the squirrel.
Bennett was treated and released.
He declined to comment about the Nov. 23 incident.
Declining comment was the smartest thing he did all day.
