SEARCY, Ark. (AP) - A man accused of shooting bottle rockets at another man in a chicken suit was arrested on Wednesday and charged with assault in the second degree and with discharging fireworks in the city limits.
Police said Joseph R. Craig, 20, shot bottle rockets at Steven Turnage, who wears the suit to attract business to a local fast food restaurant, on July 19.
Turnage said that in the first two weeks he wore the chicken suit, people threw smokeless tobacco cans at him and tossed frozen drinks. After the bottle rocket attack, he called police.
Turnage said that one rocket nearly hit him in the eye and another burned part of his suit. Because he was wearing a mask, Turnage could not get a clear view of the suspect but gave police a description of the vehicle that Craig allegedly shot from.
Turnage said he was grateful that police had made an arrest in the case. "They did a good job," Turnage said. "I'd like for this guy to have to wear the chicken suit for a day out in this heat to see what its like."
