NH Police Rescue Opossum From Gas Grill On Opossum Drive
CHESTER, N.H. (CBS) – It sounded like a prank call. Instead, it turned out to be quite the coincidence.
Chester Police were called to a home on Opossum Drive after, yes you guessed it, an opossum got stuck in a gas grill.
"We honestly thought it was a joke at first," Master Patrol Officer Andrew DiPerri told the New Hampshire Union Leader.
A high school student and friends went to light the grill to cook some burgers when they found the opossum inside.
After officers took apart a few pieces of the grill, DiPerri donned a pair of protective gloves, grabbed the animal and brought it to the woods.
