(Sorry, we had to…) In an egg-citing turn of events, Pascagoula Police Officer Waits found himself in a foot pursuit with an unexpected suspect—a chicken!

The feathery fugitive was spotted crossing the road, clearly in a hurry to get to the other side.

After a brief chase, Officer Waits took the clucking culprit into custody.

The chicken was charged with eluding a police officer and clucking without a license.

Kudos to Officer Waits for cracking the case!
