The post says, 'Upon arrival, Robbie observed two suspect chickens ‘harassing' and ‘chasing' customers and pecking at car tires. We cannot confirm at this time if they were targeting specific customers (with chicken nuggets and sandwiches in hand) or random customers.'
Robbie was reportedly able to take to the two chickens 'into custody' with help from the restaurant's manager. The birds were then brought to a nearby animal shelter, where the police force joked that they were being held for questioning.
In actuality, the shelter was trying to find the birds' owner. Fortunately, the police department's post was updated to confirm that the birds' owner had been found, as they would have been put up for adoption after seven days.
The Washington Township Police Department joked, 'It was rumored that this activity might be in ‘response' to McDonald's plan of offering 3 new chicken sandwiches in the near future, coincidence?'
