A Dayton police officer on New Year’s Day caught an unlikely suspect in the city involved in “fowl” play.

Officer Jordan Fader apprehended the chicken after a short pursuit on Virginia Avenue, the department posted on social media.

The chicken reportedly chased people, including a young girl before police were called.

The chicken did not obey the officer’s command to “come here,” but slowed down enough for capture. With the aid of a resident, Fader placed the chicken in back of his cruiser.

Police dubbed the chicken “Virginia” and said on social media that the chicken was not harmed.

Dayton allows backyard chickens, but only hens.
