Angry Arizona Man Shoots at Firefighters Who Refused to Rescue Cat
From Tree
KINGMAN, Ariz. Aug 19, 2006 (AP)- A man angry at firefighters who
refused to rescue a cat from a tree was arrested after he started
shooting at the fire crew, officials said.
Jeffrey Cullen, 58, was charged with four felony counts of aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon, Mohave County Sheriff's spokeswoman
Trish Carter said.
A three-person fire crew went to Cullen's home Thursday when he
reported a tree fire, but found no blaze, Hualapai Valley Fire
Department spokeswoman Sandy Edwards said.
Instead, Cullen told firefighters he wanted a cat rescued from his
tree and knew they would only respond to a fire call, Edwards said. A
battalion chief told Cullen to call animal control or wait for the cat
to get hungry and come down.
Cullen apparently didn't like the response, Edwards said.
"He went back into the house, got a small black revolver and came
outside shooting," she said.
The firefighters and a 12-year-old boy who had come to see the fire
truck ran for their lives, Edwards said. No one was injured.
Deputies arrested Cullen after a brief standoff and struggle.
