Man accused of duck beheading at hotel

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota officials are filing a felony charge of animal cruelty against a Denver man accused of tearing off the head of a live duck at a St. Paul hotel.

Twenty-six-year-old Scott D. Clark faces a maximum sentence of two years in jail and a $5,000 fine if he's convicted.

Clark is accused of chasing a tame duck that was swimming in a pond at the Embassy Suites Hotel in St. Paul on Saturday.

Witnesses told authorities he eventually cornered the duck, grabbed it and tore its head off.

He then allegedly turned to a group of onlookers and said we was hungry and was going to eat the duck.

Authorities say they believe Clark had been drinking.

He is being held at the Ramsey County Jail.

The sergeant's office at the jail says Clark is turning down requests for interviews.

-HECK!

The fine seems a bit high but I can see it. 2 years in jail though? That is nuts. Hopefully the judge in the case isn't a quack.

In other news, Donald Duck and Daffy Duck will be marching in St. Paul for a protest. I hear Woody Woodpecker and Chilly Willy will also be lending their support. No comment yet from Yogi Bear.

-HECK!

I would taser him, fine him 1000 dollars and call it a day.

In my old condo, few years back, I woke up and saw two ducks in the swimming pool. Even drunk I didn't want to tear their heads off. Throw rocks, sure, that's to be expected. But tearing heads off is just bad form.

-HECK!

Reminds me of Ozzy and the bat.
