Slow News Day? #2

Rooster wanders into Keokuk County jail

SIGOURNEY — Cock-a-doodle-whoa.

By Jeff RaaschA rooster surprised deputies in Keokuk County this morning when it wandered into the jail from a house down the street. Dispatcher Terry Burger was on the phone with a reporter from The Gazette when the phone went silent.

"Whoa, we've got a rooster in here," Burger said. "Can you hear him?"

Burger said the rooster visits the jail occasionally. A residence nearby is home to about a dozen of them, he said.

"The people that live down the street have a fenced in area, and they sell eggs," Burger said. "Every once in a while, the kids leave the gate open and one wanders down here."

Burger said deputies shooed the rooster outside and went on with their day.
