Police attacked by fleas SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 23 Seven South Bend, Ind., police officers had to cut their shifts short after they were attacked by a merciless foe -- fleas.
The officers were called to a vacant house to investigate a neighbor's report of a burglar carrying items out of the home, the South Bend Tribune reported Monday. The police searched the house but didn't notice the tiny fleas until they were preparing to leave.
"They were all over the place -- in our socks and even in our shorts," Cpl. Ken Stuart said. "It was disgusting."
Patrolman Paul Strabavy told the Tribune this was the third time he has caught fleas from a vacant house this year.
The officers went through a "flea decontamination process" that involved quarantined transport, showers with flea/lice shampoo and spare clothing delivered by the wife of one of the officers.Adoption Family Hearts In Keeping Making Open Our Room Through Tie
