Not Your Usual Suspect

In what might be the most adorable case of mistaken identity ever, the news took a bizarre turn when a suspect in a murder case was swapped out for a hamster. Yes, while most suspects get a mugshot, this little guy was holding a movie slate, clearly ready for his close-up.

Whether it’s an editing error or the hamster’s sneaky plot to avoid the wheel, this furry mix-up has raised some eyebrows—and probably some chuckles, too. We’re pretty sure this hamster has an airtight alibi, though. Just another day in the news when the biggest “crime” is the cuteness overload. Somebody call the tech team—this one’s a keeper!
