Why did the chicken cross the road? That’s what a St. John’s County Sheriff’s Office deputy might’ve been wondering during a routine traffic stop in February. A Facebook post shows St. John’s County Deputy Carson pulled over on the side of the road Feb. 29. in a Vermont Heights neighborhood performing a traffic stop. Video shows Carson noticing a flock of turkeys, varying in color, on the street as he exited his patrol car. “Quack, quack quack! Chicken, chicken, chicken,” Carson said. After he tried to hand a woman in an SUV back her identification, one turkey broke out of the flock and confronted the deputy. “10-4, I’m getting attacked by a chicken right now,” Deputy Carson said as he fanned his hat toward the turkey, shooing it away. The flock of turkeys eventually retreated to a nearby neighbor’s yard and Deputy Carson went back to his patrol car. “Of all the places you can come,” Carson said toward the end of the video.
