ON TUESDAY NIGHT, PSNI officers in Craigavon were on patrol when they came across a particularly unfriendly chihuahua.
“This is Nigel the chihuahua,” they wrote. “Nigel was named by Wee N, who thinks that ‘he looks like a Nigel’.”
The police officers subsequently “arrested” Nigel for, among other things, jay walking, disorderly behaviour and two counts of assault on police.
Who’s a bad little boy, eh?

PSNI Craigavon declared Nigel to be “an angry wee man” and put a call out to find the chihuahua’s owner.
The story has since gone global with media outlets like BBC and Mashable picking it up.
