An "attack squirrel" housed in an Alabama apartment and fed methamphetamine by its owner to make sure it stayed aggressive was rescued Monday, officials said.

The squirrel was removed from the alleged drug den by investigators following a bust at an apartment in Athens, according to authorities.

One man, identified as Ronnie Reynolds, 37, was arrested at the scene, but the Limestone County Sheriff's Office is still looking for another suspect β€” the alleged "caretaker" of the squirrel β€” identified as Mickey Paulk, 35.

The sheriff's office said that prior to the drug raid, officials were told Paulk kept an "attack squirrel" in his home, AL.com reported. It's illegal in Alabama to have a pet squirrel.

Officials found the squirrel, and released it into the wild, per a recommendation from Alabama's Department of Conservation.

β€œThere was no safe way to test the squirrel for meth,” the sheriff's office said.

Meth, drug paraphernalia and body armor were seized from the apartment.

Film at 11..... 😟

I swear, meth is a worse epidemic than the opioids. And these tweakers are fn nuts.

They all need to be shot in the face, like zombies.

So there is a squirrel running around the woods with server tooth decay? Someone get that poor lil phugger a set of dentures so it can chew on dem nuts and a blunt. See! if it just smoked weed it would be laid back chillin with a bucket full O nuts and Doritos talking chit to Bambi, Thumper and all the other forest critters while playing some Marley in the background.

Don't worry, about a thing, cause every little things gonna be all right!

If they ever make this movie put me down to see it. "Stoned forest critters and the Toothless Methed Up Squirrel"

I figure it would be a mix of the movies like Bambi, Cinderella, Clerks with Jay and Silent Bob with a small touch of Cheech and Chong and a mix of a damn good Marley concert thrown in. Best Disney movie EVEAAAAAAAA!

Hell yeah I would pay to see that movie.

They should have euthanized it. No way that thing survives withdrawal. Poor little bugger. That guy should get the chair just for this. Dry sponge too.

Common sense.

When you're an attack squirrel, you become a target for the authorities.

It was just worried its owner would get hungry and decide to sink his rotted, gnarly tooth into his lil fragile body. Speaking of which, some squirrel dumplings would be good. All out of rabbit around here. They did not have body armor![chef]

From the link above, Paulk and "deeznuts" have been reunited...

Paulk claims he raised the creature since finding it as an injured baby... He denies ever giving it meth and claims he treats it like a baby, even refusing to let people smoke in the room with it....

When he heard police had released the squirrel, Paulk went to the scene and found deeznuts in a tree...

He put deeznuts on his shoulder and drove away...

Paulk and deeznuts are still running from the law...
