I Smell a Rat
Minnie Mouse temporarily shut down traffic near a downtown office building in Richmond, VA.
An investigator in a bomb suit could be seen going up the steps leading to the building one Monday afternoon after police received a report about a suspicious-looking, large stuffed animal depicting the Disney cartoon character Minne Mouse.
A police spokeswoman told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that police investigated and determined there was no threat.
Nikita McCormick, an attendant at a nearby parking lot, said the 3-foot high Minnie Mouse wearing a pink outfit was found just outside the building’s entrance and had a bag sitting on top of it.
Police reopened the street about an hour after they arrived.
No one as yet has come forward to collect the wayward mouse, or claim the package.
