Coyotes in Montville 'not unusual,' but could become an issue if they are near people.
Montville police responded to a call from a Kanouse Lane resident who said they saw coyotes near their home Tuesday morning. The call came in around 8 a.m. While it was not confirmed that the animals the resident saw were, in fact, coyotes, or how many there were, Capt. Rudy Appelmann said residents have been known to confuse coyotes with other animals. "More than likely, it was a fox," he said.

I also wished - sincerely - the speediest possible recovery to the officer. Unfortunately, people like Dan Grant are like … more ›
