A lawsuit brought by a woman named Macie Meckler against the “old orchard mall” due to a excitable squirrel. This squirrel jumped upon the womans leg while she was visiting the outdoor mall.

Meckler had her confrontation with the squirell back in 2004. While she was running and  attempting to remove the squirel she fell and suffered severe injuries.

The suit says its the fault of the mall that the squirrel attacked her.

The suit claims that the squirrel was known and was allowed to remain on the property despite having harrassed customers before. And claims it was encouraged by employees who fed it.


Trees in “The Garden” heh, who woulda thought….

The plaintiff contends that the managment failed to warn her that squirrels live in trees.

Great way to net 50 grand hey?
