Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction: Police rushed out to an emergency call after a man mistook a black binbag in his sitting room for a wolf. Drunken Lawrence Eaton, 50, armed himself with a knife and fled his house after seeing what appeared to him to be a wild animal crouched in the corner of his room. The ex-lorry driver ran to a phone box and begged for police to come to help during a babbled emergency call. Police raced to the scene with their own trained dogs ready to investigate the wolf report and came across Eaton still in the street carrying a kitchen knife. But on searching his house they found only a black binbag and quickly realised that Eaton had got confused in his drunken state. Instead, they charged him with possession of a knife...
