He could be fined between $250 and $500, and could possibly get some extra jail time, too.
Paulk has been on the run since earlier this month when the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office tried to arrest him on possession of a controlled substance, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, and possession of drug paraphernalia charges.
Deputies say they got a tip that Paulk was using the squirrel to attack, and giving it meth to keep it aggressive.
Paulk, speaking to WAAY 31 and in a Facebook post, has laughed off that claim.
He told WAAY 31 he will surrender to authorities, but has not yet done so.
