As far as efforts to escape detention go, Richard D. Brown's is up there with the dumbest. Having spotted Brown's involvement in a potential drug deal, a police officer attempted to stop him. As he made his getaway, Brown jettisoned a cigarette pack, which was found to contain over an ounce of cocaine. For reasons best known to himself, Brown had in his possession a live chicken. Maybe he thought it was gonna lay a golden egg.

When a pursuing officer caught up with our animal lover he punched him in the head, knocking him to the ground. When Brown tried to run again, a second officer zapped both Brown and officer number one with a stun gun as they were struggling. Brown was once again zapped before he was handcuffed.

After arrest, Brown required six stitches to cuts on his face. We are not told about the wellbeing of officer number one, but I expect it could be summed up in one word - stunned.

As for the chicken, it was taken to Sheboygan County Humane Society. I do hope its okay.
