Merrimack NH Police Issue Warrant for Punxsutawney Phil

The Merrimack Police Department has issued an alert for Punxsutawney Phil, who is wanted for questioning about his weather predictions earlier this month. The department posted a note on Facebook in an effort to try and track him down.

“We have received several complaints from the public that this little varmint is held up in a hole, warm and toasty,” the posted noted. “He told several people that Winter would last 6 more weeks, however he failed to disclose that it would consist of mountains of snow!”

Police warned in the playful post not to approach him since he is armed and dangerous.

The frustration about all of the snow, and more storms to come, is clearly mounting. But one thing is for sure: The Merrimack Police know that Facebook is a good tool to get their man, woman, or in this case, animal, since posts have been so successful in the past.
