Police arrest Chihuahua for jay walking and 2 counts of assault

Troublemaker.

Everyone thinks Chihuahua's are small, cuddly and relatively harmless creates.

Not so.

Just take this post from the official Facebook account for the Police Service of Northern Ireland shared on Wednesday. If this doesn't convince you that Chihuahuas are actually dangerous thugs committed to a lifetime of heinous criminal endeavours, nothing will.

"Jay walking, disorderly behaviour and 2 counts of assault on police." Just despicable.

Luckily, the officers were clearly in a forgiving mood. Rather than placing the unruly beast behind bars, they decided to enlist the public's help in tracking down his owner.

In the end, it paid off.
