Woodchuck Incident

A dead Woodchuck was found in the back fields of Hudson High School by the loading dock on the morning of Tuesday May 28, 2013 at roughly 7:30 AM. The body was discovered hidden in the grass by Mr. Antunes while he was on his morning commute to work, along with 2 sets of prints shown in the pictures

below. The prints were isolated to a small area because of a lack of dirt, but they tell the tale of a struggle. Investigators say that the woodchuck was surprised by the assailant and attempted to flee, but was quickly taken, likely by the neck and carried away. There are a few suspects presently, mainly a Coyote or a dog. Authority on the incident Mr. Cody Grimm believes that the crime was done by a large dog who got out of the house late at night during memorial day weekend. He says that because the woodchuck was not eaten, the dog was likely trying to play, and didn't realize that it had killed the woodchuck. The woodchuck has been identified, but its identity has not yet been released to protect the family of the individual. We will continue to report information as it comes in. From the herpetology news room, we thank you for tuning in.
