Giant Chicken Holds Up Grocery Store(Fox News)

[Champ]

Why did the chicken cross the road? To hold up the grocery store, of course.

Donald Haines, 39, of Hilliard, Ohio, admitted to a Columbus court on Nov. 1 that he had dressed up in a chicken costume to rob a Kroger (search) store the previous January.

He pleaded no contest to 12 counts, among them aggravated robbery, kidnapping and receiving stolen property, reported WLWC-TV of Columbus.

Police told the court that a man wearing a mask and a bright yellow chicken suit with orange chicken feet walked into the Kroger store just before midnight on Jan. 2.

The chicken flashed a gun and asked for the cash from the store's safe.

"It's pretty extraordinary," Columbus police Sgt. Shaun Laird told the TV station. "We've had guys wear fake mustaches now and again, but nothing like this."
