Paging Jimmy Carter
A Rhode Island man charged with stomping to death a Canada goose and five goslings said he did it because he felt threatened by the birds.
John A. Sanders, 33, pleaded innocent at his arraignment Monday in Attleboro District Court on charges of animal cruelty and disorderly conduct.
The industrial engineer from North Kingstown, R.I., was working at a Texas Instruments plant in Attleboro on Saturday. According to the police report, he was walking on the campus when an adult goose hissed at Sanders, who slipped and fell in mud.
"Angered by this fall, he began his rampage, chasing the goslings and kicking them," the report said.
The feathered menace:
Can you blame him? Sheesh, one of those guys might take your arm off.
The chili plot thickens
It took eight weeks, but investigators finally know where the finger came from that a woman claimed she found in her bowl of Wendy's chili.
It didn't belong to a dead aunt of Anna Ayala, who made the claim. Nor was the owner a woman who got too friendly with her pet leopard.
The finger came from a man who lost it in an industrial accident and gave it to the husband of Ayala, who allegedly planted it in a scam to get money.
Hmmm . . . yeah, I feel the need for another celebratory chili coming on.
