Police in Manahawkin shot and killed a wild turkey that authorities say was "wreaking havoc" in traffic.
Stafford Township animal control officers told The Press of Atlantic City the bird has been in the township for months. However, it recently moved from residential areas to busy Route 72.
Efforts to trap it were unsuccessful.
Police told the newspaper the turkey caused a motor vehicle accident when a car jammed on its brakes and was rear ended by another on Wednesday.
So why was the turkey shot? The police suspected it of fowl play...I apologize in advance for the bad joke, I couldn't help myself!
