Mickey Paulk, the owner of an “attack squirrel” from Alabama is still on the run, and the authorities have a message for anyone who might help the man evade capture:

You could be arrested, too.

“Mickey Paulk is a fleeing felon with felony warrants unrelated to his squirrel,” the sheriff’s office wrote in social media messages to the public today. “Assisting him in evading arrest may result in arrest warrants for obstruction of justice and/or interfering with government operations.”

Paulk has been on the run since Monday when sheriff’s deputies said they seized drugs from his home in the Athens area. On Tuesday, the sheriff’s office publicly accused Paulk of keeping an “attack squirrel” and feeding it meth to “keep it aggressive.” Paulk has denied those allegations in interviews with news media and in a live video on Facebook. He told The Washington Post that he’s raised the squirrel, named Deeznutz, like it was his own child.

Stephen Young, a Limestone County sheriff’s spokesman, said regardless of Paulk’s relationship with the squirrel, the 35-year-old is wanted on warrants charging him with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and a firearms possession violation.
