Punxsutawney Phil 'indicted' for lying about spring's early arrival

CINCINNATI - The famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil could be headed to court.

A prosecutor in Ohio has filed "charges" against the animal. The prosecutor says Phil promised an early spring, and he was wrong!

The Northeast was pounded with more than a foot of snow on the first day of spring.

The prosecutor says he's sick of it, and wants someone to pay!

It's all in good fun, of course, and Phil's handlers are getting in on the joke as well.

I heard that people have threatened him. He probably has bodyguards.

One of the news stations made up a wanted poster. Pretty funny.

I seen that on TMJ4 news last night with him against the wall for his height, getting his picture taken and in the black and white stripe clothes. I was laughing so hard. It was funny.

I'm sure his armed guards are armadillos. He is no worse about lying than the weathermen. Maybe his Top hat tipped and he could'nt see... Says Johnny Cochran.
