St. Michael Looking for Skunk Vandal
The stench residents smelled around New Year's Eve was, indeed, from skunks. How they ended up in the city is what concerns some local officials.
If you were out and about New Year's Eve, particularly in St. Michael, you probably caught a whiff of that familiar, musky scent.
While running into skunks in this area isn't unprecedented, local officials were a bit troubled by how the critters ended up in the last week of December.
Skunk "packages," according to Assistant City Administrator Steve Bot, were left around town. Someone evidently killed the skunks and left them around the city as a very smelly practical joke.
