Since it is almost impossible to pull off something like this quietly, the owner heard the commotion as they drove of with his chicken behind them. He ran outside, only to see one of the young men riding the chicken as it was being dragged down the road. Fortunately for the statue's owner, the thieves didn't make it very far, as the young men unhooked and abandoned the statue after only dragging it a mile. Unfortunately, however, the statue did not escape unscathed. It did suffer some major damage, especially to the side of it that was dragged on the ground.
It took the police only a day to track down the purloiners of the purple poultry. Darrin Luke Edwards, 19, was charged with grand theft and violation of probation. Tyler Lee Jones, 21, and James Joseph Smith, 18, were charged with grand theft. Hopefully these men will think twice about something like this after they serve their time in the coop.
