NYT -- Wild Turkey Terrorizes Conn. Bank.

Wild Turkey Terrorizes Conn. Bank

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 1:14 p.m. ET

PLAINFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- A wild turkey gave some bankers
and townspeople a run for their money two days before
Thanksgiving.

The hen turkey, weighing 15-20 pounds, staked out some turf
at the Jewett City Savings Bank Tuesday and cornered
customers as they tried to enter.

The bird first charged Dianne Beaulac, a customer service
representative at the bank.

``I got out of my car and he just came after me. I threw my
keys at it, my hair clip,'' she said. ``It chased me around
my car. It was hysterical. Then the police came.''

It took hours before town employees, crawling along the
building's roof and chasing the bird around the parking
lot, cornered it.

Donald Tetreault, a highway employee who raises geese and
chickens, finally caught the bird.

``I just grabbed hold of her wings and when she tried to
fly away I got a better grip.''

Animal control officials took the turkey to a state
forest.
