Animal call draws police

Falls police reported that they were called to a home on the 1100 block of North Avenue about 6 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a man with a gun shooting at raccoons.

Patrol officers, as well as Roving Anti-Crime Unit officers, responded to the home and set up a perimeter. Officers found nothing in the backyard and a 50-year-old man in the home. The man allowed officers to search the home and no gun was found.

Police did find several animal traps in the driveway including one with a live opossum inside foaming at the mouth. The Department of Environmental Conservation was called.

The man told police he didn’t know anything about the traps and lives at the home with his mother and father who were not home at the time.
