Anne Arundel County police rescue owl after car crash

Anne Arundel County police received an unusual call for help after a motorist struck a wild animal -- but it wasn't a deer. Anne Arundel County police Cpl. Brian Slattery and PFC Patrick Madera will not ever forget the unusual call for help they responded to late Sunday night after a barred owl was struck by a car on Fair Haven Road near the Calvert County line. Madera was able to re-wrap the owl in a blanket from his patrol car and the two officers stayed with the animal until help arrived from a nearby wildlife bird sanctuary.
