Sour – and very stinky – grapes
FRENCH LICK, IND. — An Indiana man who police say mailed dead skunks and a raccoon to a man chosen over him as school basketball coach has been arrested on stalking, animal cruelty and other charges, according to Reuters. Travis Tarrants, 40, was also accused of spray painting the victim’s car with messages such as “You will die” in a bid to get him to resign as a coach and fourth grade teacher at the school. The caper started in June when the post office received packages that smelled like skunks and had blood coming from them, said police. In addition to the mailed carcasses, Tarrants also accused the man of child molestation. He called child protective services and claimed his rival was having sex with a 15-year-old boy.
