Turkey perp charges police, gets plugged

On Father's Day last Sunday afternoon, a Chilmark police officer pumped several bullets into a wild male turkey he feared was a threat to public safety.

Chilmark patrolman Jeff Day and Special Police Officer Matthew Gebo responded to a call at 12:26 pm from two people who said the bird attacked them as they tried to deliver rental baby equipment.

"Freeze or we'll eat you for dinner"

"Patrol to central...Shots fired...We're gonna need a roasting pan, baster, and some gravy."

"Ok Probie start plucking..."

In the Town of Chilmark, they are pretty much the job. Maybe 6 full timers and 4 summer cops. The turkey will most likely feed the entire department.
