The struggle against skunks is nothing new. Twin Falls resident Dennis Haynes recalled an encounter when he worked for former Twin Falls County Sheriff James Benham, who served from 1954 to 1967. While on patrol in the evening, Haynes noticed a baby skunk wandering into the courthouse through an open door. Haynes quickly caught the baby, then decided to take it home to surprise his wife and daughters. Haynes’ wife wouldn’t let him into the house with the skunk (which bit his finger after his barking dog startled it). He put the baby in a sack and took it to his in-laws, where they put it in a wire potato basket. When Haynes tried to stop the skunk from escaping, it sprayed his uniform and shoes/Melissa Davlin, Twin Falls Times-News. More here. (SR file photo for illustration: Jesse Tinsley)
