Players using toy claw game surprised by live groundhog among stuffed animals

Colonel Custard found in Pennsylvania arcade game and released into nearby field: He got set free. No one got bit'

A Pennsylvania groundhog is making a name for himself for something other than predicting an early or late spring.

An intrepid varmint dubbed Colonel Custard - so named for the frozen custard shop and mini-golf outlet where he was discovered - was found stowed away with a passel of stuffed animals prizes in an arcade game two weeks ago. Players were maneuvering a mechanical claw to pluck toys from the glass game case when they suddenly realized a real live groundhog was blinking back at them.
