CORPUS CHRISTI — Corpus Christi police apprehended a chicken after it crossed the road Sunday afternoon because the animal failed to use a crosswalk, according to a police news release.

A police officer, known by his peers as “Chicken Hawk,” saw a chicken crossing the street about 2 p.m. in the 1600 block of Agnes Street.

The officer tried to detain the chicken for crossing outside of a crosswalk, but the animal fled on foot, police said.

In an attempt to escape, the chicken jumped through the open window of an unoccupied vehicle. But the keys to the vehicle weren’t in the ignition, police said.

As far as what what motivated the police--I'm not of that mindset so I'll have to defer.
