Power in a New Jersey town was knocked out for hours over the weekend and police shared a fishy explanation —literally.
Around 2,100 JCP&L customers in Sayreville lost electricity when a fish destroyed a transformer, officials said. Investigators with the Sayreville Police Department believe a bird dropped the fish on the transformer as it flew overhead on Saturday.
Police paid tribute to the fish in a social media post after the power outage, naming it Gilligan.
