NOT THE SHARPEST KNIVES IN THE DRAWER: Two Skunks Steal Lizard

David Martt, 44, and his son Harley D. Martt, 18, were charged with theft by unlawful taking under $500 after they stole a the 18-inch lizard from the Eagles Landing Pet Hospital and tried to pawn it for booze, reports The Ledger Independent (Maysville, KY): 

 

Officers with the Morehead Police Department began searching for the lizard around 2 p.m. the same day after receiving a tip a pair of men tried to pawn a reptile at JB's Gun and Pawn, also in Morehead. When the pawn attempt failed, the men proceeded to Freight Station and First Street Liquors where they tried to trade the lizard for liquor, police said. All four businesses are located within a few blocks of one another on in Morehead.

 

The father is out on $500 bail; the rotten fruit of his loins is still in custody, having been unable to make bail.
