Library break-in suspect in South Dakota a real turkey
The suspect in Sunday's library break-in in Deadwood, S.D. looked a lot like this

Deadwood, S.D. Police Sgt. Ken Mertens says he didn't see any footprints near the broken window, so he surmised that a snow blower had tossed up a rock and shattered the glass.
Mertens says that a closer inspection revealed the wing-flapping culprit. And, he says, "that turkey wanted back out that hole."
Mertens and the library director's husband spent 20 minutes trying to corral the big bird before placing a blanket over its head and escorting it outside.
Then the turkey flew the coop - well, actually, it fled on foot.
"One thing we noticed is that he did not go down the aisle with the cookbooks in it," said library director Chaney-Moodie.
The suspect is apparently no bird-brain.
