Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated October 30, 1962 reads "North Hollywood policeman John Eden studies the stubborn possum who was found early today running along the corridors of the police station.

Officers were unable to say where the animal came from, but they did report a toad was found last week jumping around the detective bureau."
