Nothing to add but the laughing.

Warren police shock cougar — a toy one — with Taser

WARREN, Mich. — Police responding to a 911 caller reporting a cougar on the prowl in a suburban Detroit park saw what looked like the big cat hiding in a discarded section of cement drain pipe.

So Warren police on Monday shot a Taser electroshock weapon — hitting what turned out to be a large toy cougar right in the stuffing.

The Detroit Free Press reports the toy apparently was placed in the pipe as a hoax. About 10 officers responded to Bates Park following the call.

Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer says the department is "out there to keep the community safe."

This week's incident took place about a month since a 16-year-old from Detroit died after a Taser was used by Warren police to subdue him. Robert Mitchell's family has filed a federal lawsuit.
