The West Central Tribune reports: "An Atwater, MN woman has filed a formal complaint against the Atwater Police Chief for trespassing on her property and killing her young son's pet chicken – leaving the hen's decapitated head just feet from the backyard chicken coop."
"The chicken was like a puppy dog to my son," said Ashley Turnbull.
Police Chief Trevor Berger "clubbed, killed and decapitated a small, red hen with a shovel."
"It's against city ordinance for a chicken to be in the city and running around in people's yards," said Chief Berger.
