Massachusetts Environmental Police were alerted Wednesday and have been patrolling the area. They say there have been no new sightings of the animal reported to them at this time.It's not clear if the animal is rabid, but it looked sick, according to the police chief."This one I guess looked kind of mangy, kind of sick, you would see almost like a wet face, drunken appearance," Holmes said.Hillcrest Street has some trails and a river behind homes where people frequently walk, often with their dogs, so residents are being urged to use extreme caution.It's recommended that people carry pepper spray and keep dogs on a leash, or avoid the area all together if possible. The police chief is reminding people not to hunt the animal.Anyone who sees a coyote acting strangely or aggressively should contact animal control at 781-585-0529.</div></body>
