Why did the chicken cross the road?

Law enforcement authorities in Johannesburg, a rural mining community in California, don't care why - they gave the wayward hen a "$54 citation for impeding traffic." The charges were dropped however, when the chicken's lawyer successfully argued that she wasn't guilty by reason of domestication.

The chick's owners claim she was singled out because they complained about wayward dogs and rampant off-road vehicle riders. Sheriff's officials deny the allegations, and said "the ticket had nothing to do with the Moores' complaints."
