Wausau Police investigate attempted sale of a wild otter

Hold my Beer | The Wausau Tavern Report

We think Wausau gets pretty interesting after dark. Here are the significant police calls to Wausau taverns for the last month, plus information about liquor licenses and other bar-related matters.

This month police investigated a rather unusual situation: Someone trying to sell a baby otter.

Police headed down to Matt’s 101 Pub at 9:43 pm May 7 after getting a report that someone was trying to sell a baby otter at the bar.

For those who don’t know, it’s illegal to try to sell a wild animal, and bars aren’t really the kind of place to conduct such transactions anyway.
