(ABILENE, TX) – An Abilene woman was arrested after she allegedly stabbed a squirrel then ran from police Monday morning.

Abilene police say the woman was seen brandishing a knife while walking around a neighborhood near Jefferson Street around 9:00 a.m.

The department received multiple calls about the woman. Neighbors say she was running around with the knife screaming – they also claim they witnessed her stab a squirrel.

She began to flee on foot when officers arrived on scene. She was eventually taken into custody and will be transported straight to the Taylor County Jail on an evading arrest charge.

Police believe she may have mental health issues, so BigCountryHomepage will not be releasing her identity.
