Washington police arrested a weeping man in the woods after he allegedly stole his ex-girlfriend’s chicken named Polly.

According to a video posted to X by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office, a woman called 911 on March 29 to report that her unnamed ex, 50, broke into her house. He allegedly screamed, “I’ve got Polly” multiple times before fleeing with the chicken.
