He was carrying wooden and rubber slingshot along with a satchel filled with two squirrels and an assortment of rocks, Scheinost said.
During the arrest, one of Say’s squirrels woke up and ran away, Scheinost said. The other squirrel, which was dead, was turned over to animal control.
Scheinost said police had been searching for a man suspected of killing squirrels for more than a week.
