The U.S. Marshals are trying to hunt down a wanted drug trafficker after he reportedly took his ankle bracelet off and attached it to his cat. 

The guy in the photo was busted for drug trafficking back on New Year's Eve and he's been on house arrest ever since.  The signal on his GPS ankle bracelet went dead last month and when the police went to investigate---he was gone.

They did find that the man's monitoring device on his CAT!! This wanted individual found a way to remove the bracelet attached to his leg, and place it on the cat. He figured that the cat would move around enough to fool those monitoring his whereabouts. And for a minute, it did.

Sure, his idea may not have worked like he wanted, because the battery went dead, but his plan did give him enough time to escape. Now police are looking for him, and when they catch him he will be facing more felony charges.

As for the cat, I highly doubt that police will charge it with any crime.
