    TOMS RIVER, New Jersey (WABC) — “Wood” you believe this story?

Police in New Jersey captured a fuzzy fugitive on Easter Sunday that had been “terrorizing” residents in Toms River.

A patrolman was able to wrangle the angry beaver into the back of the police car and relocate him to a nearby body of water.

There is no word on how exactly he was terrorizing the residents of Toms River, but he should now be gnawing on logs instead of people’s nerves.
