Police: Drunk Pa. man tried to 'revive' opossum
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — State police have charged a central Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen giving mouth-to-mouth "resuscitation" to a long-dead opossum along a highway.Trooper Jamie Levier says several witnesses saw 55-year-old Donald Wolfe, of Brookville, near the animal along Pa. 36 in Oliver Township on Thursday about 3 p.m. The trooper says one person saw Wolfe kneeling before the animal and gesturing as though he were conducting a seance, while another saw the mouth-to-mouth attempt.


Levier says Wolfe was "extremely intoxicated" and "did have his mouth in the area of the animal's mouth, I guess."


The Associated Press could not locate a home telephone number for Wolfe.


Oliver Township is about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh
