Courthouse with dead opossum almost free of fleas
PULASKI, Va. - The Pulaski County Courthouse is almost free of fleas that hitched a ride on an opossum found dead between the floorboards. In early June, workers started to complain that the pests were biting them and visitors.
Assistant County Administrator Robert Hiss said the problem was primarily confined to the first floor, which holds offices that include court clerks and a general district courtroom.
During a search, a maintenance worker was drawn by a strong, foul odor coming from underneath the first floor. There he found the dead opossum covered in fleas.
