37-year-old Michael Ring was out causing trouble in Madison, Wisconsin on Monday night.  Witnesses said he was out of control, obviously high on drugs, and had a knife.  So it was a pretty serious situation…

When cops showed up, he ran off and hid from them.  And he did get away for a minute, but they found him nearby.

When they finally caught up with him, they got a whiff of something awful.  It turned out that while he was hiding, he got sprayed by a SKUNK.

He wasn’t actually hiding when they found him he was in the middle of slashing a random person’s tires.  So maybe he was angry about the skunk, or just hates tires.

He resisted, but they got him into custody.  And he also had an outstanding warrant.

They charged him with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct while armed, criminal damage to property and for, quote, “discharging bodily fluids on a public safety worker.”  Which we assume means spitting, but who knows.

Here’s his mugshot.
