Flying Turkey Crashes Through Mr Penguin Windows

By West Kentucky Star Staff

PADUCAH, KY - Police in Downtown Paducah spent part of Friday morning trying to catch the culprit that smashed through a window of Mister Penguin along the 300 block of Broadway, but it's not a person. It's a turkey.Witnesses report the turkey broke the window of the store, then apparently "strutted" himself over to the front door of another neighboring business, marched up the stairs, and tried to push open the door.Scanner traffic of the Paducah Police channel indicated the turkey was been spotted by police, and was described as a male turkey and considered dangerous due to it having "spurs". The McCracken County Emergency Dispatch Center said the bird was still on the loose late Friday morning.Police were contacted a couple of times Friday afternoon, but WestKentuckyStar received no word on whether the bird was captured.
