Authorities Believe Horribly Concocted Story about Severed Bear Head


Apparently, if you live in Michigan, it is incredibly easy to convince people of your innocence when you are obviously nothing short of guilty. Case in point: A man pleads his case after the illegally severed head of a black bear was found on his orchard.

From Boston.com

"Poaching black bears in Michigan is a misdemeanor punishable by 93 days in jail plus a fine, court costs and restitution.

As it turns out, a man who lives near the orchard had been given the preserved head a few years ago and had been storing it in a freezer...The man wanted to keep the skull, so he recently removed the bear's head from the freezer to allow it to dry in his barn. While the head was there, a dog likely grabbed it and dragged it to the orchard."

That is clearly ROCK SOLID. Case closed.
