Chicken Crosses The Road...Gets Jaywalking Ticket
Jaywalking Chicken Ducks Fine
Ridgecrest, California - A chicken fined $54 for crossing a road in California has had the charge thrown out in court. The ticket was dismissed after a lawyer for the bird's owners argued that it was domesticated, not livestock. Under state law, it's illegal for livestock to be on highways. Domestic animals are free to get to the other side. Linc and Helena Moore were fined on March 26 after their chicken wandered onto a road in the rural mining town of Johannesburg. They said the sheriff's office targeted them because they had repeatedly complained that deputies weren't effectively policing the drivers of off-road vehicles. "For the last two and a half years, no one has been able to stop the kids riding their bikes in the middle of the road or the neighbors' dogs running around our neighborhood," Linc Moore was quoted as saying. "But when our chicken escaped and crossed the road once it became a huge issue." The sheriff's office denies the accusations.
