Police: Drunken Man Tried To Revive Dead Opossum

Witnesses Saw Donald Wolfe, 55, Near Animal Thursday Afternoon

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. -- State police have charged a central Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen trying to resuscitate a dead opossum along a highway.

State police in Punxsutawney said several witnesses saw Donald Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, near the animal Thursday afternoon. Police arrested him along Route 36 in Oliver Township at about 3 p.m.

A state police news release did not specify how Wolfe was allegedly trying to revive the opossum. The arresting trooper did not immediately return calls for comment Friday. The Associated Press could not locate a home telephone number for Wolfe.

Oliver Township is about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.


Anyone still hungry for breakfast?

Maybe he thought it was Puxatawney Phil, and he'd be a hero????

I couldn't stop laughing about that one for a while...it's just *so* wrong in so many ways...

Besides, with a possum, how do you know it's really dead?

From what I've been told if you get close enough to one who's just playing dead, you will find out rather quickly.

there is a difference between the "kiss of life" and "slipping the possum some tongue".
