WA Cop Asks Chicken Why It's Crossing The Road
There were no easy answers when a cop in Yakima encountered this feathered perp jaywalking late last night.
YAKIMA, WA - A Yakima police officer encountered a escaped jailbird jaywalking last night. The officer tried to find out why the bird was trying to cross, but the suspect refused to crack under questioning.
According to Yakima police, Sgt. Ira Cavin came across a stray chicken in the road, and decided to stop to help. The pictures taken of the interaction are funny - definitely more funny than if they had figured out a punchline to the joke.
Some nights you arrest bad guys and some nights you have a staring contest with a chicken; you just never know what a shift can bring! Thanks, Sgt Cavin, for helping the chicken make it safely across the road. pic.twitter.com/HWxdLxLb7C
