HOQUIAM, Wash. – Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into an apartment and assaulted a man in Washington state.

The victim asked, "Why are you carrying a weasel?" Police said the attacker answered, "It's not a weasel, it's a marten," then punched him in the nose and fled.

The attacker was apparently looking for his girlfriend and had gone to her former boyfriend's apartment Monday where the victim was a guest.

KXRO reports he left the carcass behind.

Police later found the 33-year-old Hoquiam man arguing with his girlfriend at another location and arrested him after a fight.

He said he had found the marten dead near Hoquiam, but police don't know why he carried it with him.

A marten is a member of the weasel family.

I know, I know... I'm easily amused.

Nice marmot.

Dude, a marmot is a rodent. A marten is a mustelid (weasel). Ridiculous.

I giggled.

I found it quite comical that the attacker at least took the time to answer the victim's question before punching him in the face.

I find it amusing the guy even knew what a marten was, as he's definitely not playing with a full deck.

What the article failed to disclose is the victim's name is actually Martin Jackson.

Before fleeing, the attacker asked the man, "did you sleep with my wife?"
Mr. Jackson replied, "no sir, I did not."
The attacker then said, "you're a lying weasel."
Mr. Jackson answered, "you're mistaken, I'm Martin."
