Taken This Weekend Near Montague
"It was just walking across the road." That's Assistant County Attorney Thomas Aaberg. I don't know the dog.
Edit: Getting reports that the turtle might be a missing Decatur resident. I'm working on it.
Edit: Well, I've got the feel good story of the year. A lady left a message for me today saying that was her lost tortoise in the picture. I told Thomas who tracked her down and they went back to the scene of the Big Turtle Sighting. Couldn't fine the monster. But Thomas knew one the people that lived in the area so they checked in with that homeowner. Amazingly, he had seen the tortoise and picked it up. Result: Tortoise returned to its rightful owner.
Edit: Sheesh, we've now got Turtle-Gate going on. We've got four different people claiming the turtle. Developing . . . .
