Sheriff Garrison last Sunday evening responded to a 911 call at Mrs. Sand's Boarding House. When he arrived, he found Mrs. Lois Sand, the owner, sitting on her back porch with a .22 rifle across her lap.
Sheriff Garrison asked why she had called him. She pointed to a squirrel that was pulling an apple footie off her apple, taking a bite from the apple, and dropping both apple and footie. "He's destroying my organic apples," she fumed.
Garrison scratched his head. "And what do you want me to do about it?"
She held up her .22. "If you don't kill that apple robber, I'll use this."
"Isn't that a bit extreme?" he asked.
"No. My shotgun would be. But that would harm some of my apples."
