The term "crazy like a fox" is defined as a foolish action that equates into something more serious than its original intent.
An ordinary night at a North Salisbury restaurant became crazy after a fox began chasing two people in the establishment's parking lot early on Thursday morning.
The incident occurred at Chef Fred's Chesapeake Steakhouse, Bar & Grill, when some customers encountered a wild fox in the parking lot. Feeling threatened, the customers ran inside the building's slow-release door, only to be followed by the animal.
Once inside the building, the fox scampered into the dining room area, into the bar area and back to the dining area, causing employees and patrons to take cover.
Manager, Sara Hall, went to discover what was causing the ruckus, only to become part of it as the fox lunged at her and latched onto her hand. Once the fox grabbed hold of her hand, several methods were used to make the creature relinquish its grip.
"One of the bouncers at the bar starts to choke the fox, and it still wouldn't let go," Hall said. Another patron attempted to pry the animal's mouth open, only to be bitten on his fingertip.
After minutes of struggling, the fox let go of Hall's hand after three people and three to four jolts from a Taser subdued the beast.
The fox was then taken out of the restaurant and thrown into a field. When restaurant employees went to check on the animal, there was no trace of it, alive or dead.
Hall received seven shots that morning in case the animal was rabid and must come back twice a week for the next three to four weeks for more shots. She later learned she received an infection from the fox bite.
