FLORIDA WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER CLIMBING TREE IN SQUIRREL COSTUME — DECLARES HERSELF “SQUIRREL QUEEN” DURING ACORN ATTACKA Florida woman is facing charges after police say she turned a quiet neighborhood into a full-blown woodland uprising — by climbing a tree in a squirrel costume and allegedly pelting officers with acorns while declaring herself royalty.According to authorities in Jacksonville, deputies were called after neighbors reported a woman behaving erratically in a residential yard — only to find her perched several feet up in a tree, dressed head-to-toe as a squirrel.And she wasn’t coming down quietly.Witnesses say the woman began throwing acorns at responding officers while shouting:“I am the squirrel queen!”At first, deputies attempted to de-escalate the situation, asking her to come down safely.She refused.According to the report, the suspect allegedly continued tossing acorns and branches while issuing what one officer described as “nature-based commands.”One neighbor said:“It looked like a Disney scene… but aggressive.”The situation escalated when officers moved closer, prompting what they described as a “targeted acorn barrage.”Eventually, deputies were able to safely bring her down from the tree without injury.When questioned, she reportedly told officers:“This is my territory… you’re trespassing.”She was arrested on charges including disorderly conduct.The costume was not confiscated.The tree remains.And according to neighbors, it’s the first time anyone has ever had to call police…over a self-declared ruler of the backyard.
