On Friday, at least two Elizabethtown Police Department officers utilized their wrangling skills after a chicken, described by police as “hostile,” wreaked havoc at a pharmacy.
According to an Elizabethtown PD Facebook post, the danger was palpable:
Sometimes … our guys and gals must go where others will not dare. Into the very teeth of danger.
Well, into the very beak of danger anyway. A very hostile chicken was menacing patrons at a local pharmacy today. Probably feeding an addiction to corn or grubs or birdseed or whatever the heck chickens eat. Responding officers were pecked viciously by the uncooperative fowl fiend, and he made some adept use of vehicles for cover.
Some quick thinking, unflappable bravery, and some MacGyver-like ingenuity involving a milk crate led to the swift apprehension of the peevish poultry. We’re happy to say he was turned over to the custody of someone who can give him more suitable accommodations. We expect our officers to make a full recovery after some doughnut therapy.
