PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) - State police have charged a central Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen giving mouth-to-mouth "resuscitation" to a long-dead opossum along a highway.

Trooper Jamie Levier says several witnesses saw 55-year-old Donald Wolfe, of Brookville, near the animal along Route 36 in Oliver Township Thursday about 3 p.m. The trooper says one person saw Wolfe kneeling before the animal and gesturing as though he were conducting a seance, while another saw the mouth-to-mouth attempt.

Levier says Wolfe was "extremely intoxicated" and "did have his mouth in the area of the animal's mouth, I guess."

Oliver Township is about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

I saw that article too! I am glad he didn't do anything else with the animal.

Seeing that the guy is from Punxsutawney you have to wonder if he thought he was saving Phil the Groundhog.

This is a real feel-good story.

It makes me feel good about all the stupid stuff I've done while drunk, because none of it involved close encounters with roadkill.

You mean they weren't dead when the encounter started right?
