JOINT TERRESTRIAL–ANOMALOUS EVENTS COMMITTEE

INCIDENT REPORT – LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE

FILE: OPERATION TAX EVASION

 

Subject of Interest: Sheepy

Aliases: "Ram of Chaos", "Lead Engineer, C.A.T.S."

Species Classification: Bipedal ram (see Sheepy Analysis file for anomalous traits)

Primary Threat Level: Moderate (Escalates rapidly with access to tin cans or flamethrowers)

 

SUMMARY

On [REDACTED], the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) initiated an independent operation to apprehend Sheepy for failure to pay $50 USD in taxes from seasonal employment at a Spirit Halloween store.

Sheepy’s profits stemmed from “technical repairs” to animatronics, which JTAEC records indicate involved installing additional hidden compartments to store tin cans.

Previous C.A.T.S. interference was anticipated; however, the IRS conducted their operation without prior notification to JTAEC.

 

INCIDENT DETAILS

The IRS deployed Operation Tax Evasion at 06:43 hours. Agents constructed a large, reinforced wooden crate rigged with a prop-based drop mechanism.

A single rust-flavored tin can (suspected Sheepy favorite) was placed inside as bait.

Sheepy approached the can within four minutes of placement.

Witness account from IRS Agent [REDACTED]:

“He stepped into the box, sniffed the can, then looked directly at us like he already knew. The moment the box fell, he just sighed and said, ‘Well played.’ Then he reached into his wool, pulled out the exact fifty dollars he owed us, and handed it over without argument.”

 

OUTCOME

  • IRS successfully collected owed taxes.

  • Subject released immediately after payment.

  • No civilian injuries.

  • Subject expressed mild respect for IRS tactics before departing.

 

JTAEC COMMENTS

  • Note 1: The IRS succeeded where multiple high-clearance operations have failed. Their low-tech, food-based approach proved unexpectedly effective.

  • Note 2: While the debt was minimal, the psychological victory over Sheepy is significant.

  • Note 3: Recommend joint training exercise with IRS personnel in bait-and-trap deployment.

 

Filed by: Agent [REDACTED] – JTAEC Intelligence Division

Status: Closed – Subject debt resolved.

Ongoing Threat Assessment: Unchanged. Sheepy remains a persistent anomaly with unpredictable behavior patterns.
