Beaver Trespasses, Cops Use De-escalation

0:00It's April 13. From your city to your ears, this is Calgary News today, powered by AI. RCMP officers in Hanna, Alberta made headlines this month for handling a bizarre trespassing call at a local business. On April 8, staff reported someone refusing to leave at closing time, and when cops arrived, they found a disoriented beaver inside, decked out. All in brown, standing two feet tall and weighing 40 pounds. The officer on scene went straight for de-escalation tactics, talking the furry intruder down without any force. After some patient coaxing, they successfully ushered the beaver right out the door, no arrests needed, and no injuries on either side. Folks in town are buzzing about the unusual standoff, with police even sharing photos of the beaver to help spot him if he pops up again elsewhere in. Hanna, they noted he's not armed or dangerous, though they joked his tail was pretty impressive. Doctors think the beaver might have been eyeing the business's firewood stack near the entrance, maybe to haul back for his damn building project.
