Death to Punxsutawney Phil!
That’s what Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser has suggested.
Gmoser on Thursday issued a fake single-count direct indictment of the groundhog charging him with “misrepresentation of spring” for making people believe the season would arrive early.
In other related fake news, The Onion reported that Punxsutawney Phil was beheaded earlier this week for his inaccurate prediction.
Thanks to an Arctic air mass hanging over the area, there is a 60 percent chance we could see 3-6 inches of snow on Sunday.
