The Havre Daily News in Montana reported yesterday that resident Jack Hines, 66, discovered a deep fried mouse when he reached into a bag of Lays K.C. Masterpiece chips June 19.

"I just about put it in my mouth. I was sitting there watching TV in the dark and I grabbed for three fingers of potato chips and I grabbed a mouse. It shook me up a bit and I threw it over my head."

A Frito Lay representative is scheduled to come to Havre to pick up the mouse and bag of chips. The claim remains unsubstantiated at this point.
