By TOM PHILLIPS - Friday, October 30, 2009Police say a Florida man stole a live ferret from a pet shop by stuffing it down his trousers.
Thirty-eight-year-old Rodney Bolton is charged with theft of the $129 (£78) animal that police say he took from a pet store in Jacksonville Beach, The Florida Times-Union reported.
A 17-year-old witness confronted Bolton about the ferret-theft in the car park as he tried to leave - and was bitten by the animal after Bolton allegedly pushed it in the teen's face.
Technically, under Florida law, that makes the ferret a 'special weapon', with the result that Bolton also faces battery charges for dangerously wielding the animal.
