Mounted Zebra Head Plays Key Role In Arrest

ANCHORAGE, AK — An Alaska cab driver found a surprising item in the trunk of his car: a mounted zebra head. He returned it to Stacy Scott, who lives at the home where he was parked when it was loaded into his cab — only to find out that she says it was stolen from her.

She says a thief took clothing, jewelry, prescription drugs along with the mounted head of a zebra she had on a wall.

Scott told Anchorage television station KTVA that she received the zebra head from a friend when she worked at a downtown boutique. She named the head "George."

A security camera Friday recorded a woman carrying items, including George, out of Scott's home and into a waiting cab.

Police arrested a 38-old woman at an Anchorage motel where the cab driver had taken her. The suspect is charged with felony burglary and theft.
