Chicken ticketed for crossing the road

I loove this story - it's too unbelievable to be true:

The Kern County Sheriff’s Department issued a ticket for jaywalking to Linc and Helena Moore because one of their two chickens fouled up traffic in in Johannesburg, a rural mining community near Ridgecrest, some 220 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Authorities say because chickens have been such a problem for the some in the community of fifty residents, they didn’t think a simple warning would resolve the issue. The Moores were in Superior Court on Friday to plead not guilty. A trial was scheduled for May 16.
