Talking Winnewr of this weeks' Captain Obvious award -Columbus police Sgt. Shaun Laird!

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A man wearing a chicken suit robbed a Kroger grocery store last week in Columbus.



Police said a white man wearing a mask and bright yellow chicken suit with orange chicken feet entered a Kroger store about 11:30 p.m. Friday. The robber showed employees a gun and demanded cash from the store's safe.

A store surveillance camera captured the robbery on tape.

"It's pretty extraordinary," Columbus police Sgt. Shaun Laird said. "We've never had something like this. We've had guys wear fake mustaches now and again, but nothing like this."

The robber was not caught, even after he left the store in costume.

"The person either has access to some type of chicken costume or owns a chicken suit," Laird said. "So, if you know of someone, please call the robbery squad."

The robber faces several charges, including robbery, aggravated menacing and intimidation.

Police said they can't make a connection between the Kroger robbery and one in Delaware in December when a man wearing a Santa costume robbed a Wendy's fast-food restaurant. The Santa robber also may have hit a grocery story on Columbus' north side.

Anyone with information should contact police at (614) 645-4665.

You'd think a guy in a chicken suit couldn't make a fast getaway

Being that he was wearing a chicken suit, they're pretty sure that he had access to one. They're also nearly certain that because he robbed a store, he is probably also a robber.

the officers chased him with some flour and a skillet filled with hot grease; that's why he crossed the road so fast!

Had the robber dressed up as a donut the cops would have caught him in like 15 minutes.
