Charlie the Tuna Caught, Filleted

Ok, so it was more of kidnapping and chainsawing.

Two pranksters stole an 8-foot statue of Charlie the Tuna that used to greet visitors to Charleston, Oregon and later cut him up in order to move the body without anyone seeing. They were caught in the act by cops and charged with criminal mischief.

Ironically, "Charleston will honor Charlie on Saturday, June. 14, the same weekend Ellen Keeland of Loon Lake plans to create a new Charlie during the Chainsaw Carving Contest in Reedsport."

Charlie had seen better days, as his innards were hollowed and rotted by time and bugs. But the biggest surprise, discovered during the autopsy, was that he's 15% dolphin.
