Squirrel foils police, frames teens for Cheetos theft

A crafty squirrel had a near miss with the law after breaking into a vending machine in Minnesota, an anonymous source told Henry's Travels. The squirrel managed to throw police off the scent by leaving a trail of powdery orange crumbs that ended at the doorstep of a 19-year-old boy's apartment. The Twin Cities teen and two friends were arrested and charged with burglary and damage to property. The squirrel then emerged from the bushes and fled to a nearby park, where he began working on his Cheetos mustache.
