Man Tells Wis. Police He's a Werewolf
FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) - A former inmate told police that he was a werewolf and could change shapes after he was arrested for breaking into a woman's apartment. Robert Marsh, 39, appeared Friday in Fond du Lac County Circuit Court on charges of criminal trespassing, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana.
A woman called police about 3 a.m. Thursday and said Marsh broke through the deadbolt on her door and grabbed her. Two men in the home stopped him, a criminal complaint said.
The woman said she had been letting Marsh stay with her since his release from prison several days earlier because he was homeless, the complaint said.
Marsh had been drinking heavily and claimed to be a werewolf and involved in a witch religion, the woman told police. When police arrested Marsh, he told them he was a werewolf who could change forms, the complaint said.
Marsh had a small amount of marijuana on him when he was arrested, the complaint said.
Marsh was scheduled for a court hearing on March 14. Cash bail was set at $5,000.
Alaska Moose Brings Down Helicopter
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A helicopter is not necessarily a match for an angry moose. Instead of lying down after being shot with a tranquilizer dart, a moose charged a hovering helicopter used by a wildlife biologist, damaging the aircraft's tail rotor and forcing it to the ground.
Neither the pilot nor the biologist was injured, but the moose was maimed by the spinning rotor and had to be euthanized, wildlife officials said.
"It just had to be one of those quirky circumstance. Even dealing with bears and goats and moose and wolves, this is pretty unusual and truly a very unique situation," said Doug Larsen, regional supervisor for the Division of Wildlife Conservation.
Biologist Kevin White was aboard the chartered helicopter on Saturday for a study of moose near Gustavus, a community of 459 people about 50 miles northwest of Juneau in southeast Alaska. Moose outnumber humans there 2-to-1, White has written in an essay for the Department of Fish and Game Web site.
He shot the animal with a tranquilizer dart, Larsen said, and the pilot maneuvered the helicopter to keep the animal from slipping into a tight space or collapsing in water and drowning.
"The moose would start to move, and then the helicopter would back off and try to keep the moose out in the open," Larsen said.
But instead of moving toward open space, the moose charged the helicopter.
"As the animal got closer and closer to going down, an animal sort of loses its thinking - its ability to rationalize what's in its best interest," Larsen said.

Story number one is what is wrong with the Earth these days. There are way TOO MANY people walking around like this. Hopefully, as time passes, one of these days these type of people will be weeded out. Permanently!
Story number two is just another reason why humans should just leave the animals alone! Now the poor moose is no longer with us. Through no fault of his own. Yeah, I know, "the moose charged the helicopter". If the copter was not out there screwing around with the wildlife, the scene never would have happened.
