Mule shot in the rump lands neighbor in hot water

A Ninilchik man who shot a mule in the derriere could be facing a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief, according to Alaska State Troopers.

Troopers say Calvin Miller, 63, shot an escaped mule in the “posterior region” while trying to scare it off with a warning shot with a .12 gauge shotgun the night of Nov. 8.

The animal’s owner, Charles Campbell, 55, reported that the mule and some horses had escaped from their pen and the mule ran into the woods over night, troopers said.

Campbell found the animal near his home with a gunshot wound about 2:30 p.m. Nov. 9.

Troopers say they are forwarding a charge of fourth-degree criminal mischief for prosecutors to review.
