Indiana police received a panicked call requesting assistance at a pharmacy to deal with a massive wild turkey that was frightening customers. “We need animal control out here. [The turkey] is chasing the customers. It’s a really big turkey,” the caller told 911. A group of cops are seen on body cam footage tentatively entering the Martin’s pharmacy in St. Joseph County and eventually cornering the bird, with brave K9 Officer Kyle O’Konski opting to grab it by the legs and release it back into the wild. “Why don’t we just grab it?” he is heard saying, as his colleagues look slightly more apprehensive and stand well back as he takes control of the situation. “Props to all responding officers—especially K9 Officer O’Konski, who’s now certified in poultry negotiations,” St. Joseph’s County Police Department said on Facebook after the saga. “The turkey was peacefully escorted off the premises and released completely unharmed.”
