The video shows Taylor arrive to find the skunk running blindly around the road with a yogurt cup stuck on its head.
The officer gets out of his car, dons a rubber glove and carefully approaches the skunk.
Taylor quickly pulls the cup from the animal's head and runs a safe distance before turning and facing the seemingly confused baby.
The department said it was more than luck and gratitude that spared Taylor from the skunk's stink: "Luckily baby skunks can't spray like adults!"
A police officer never knows what the day will bring. Officer Taylor was called to the 400 block of W. Third St. this morning for a baby skunk with its head stuck in an empty yogurt container. Luckily baby skunks can't spray like adults! Well done Officer Taylor!
