Charleston County Sheriff’s Office deputies and animal control officers went to a Taco Bell in Ladson “for a report of a rowdy rooster causing a ruckus. He had been loitering for a week and chowing down on tacos, pork rinds and dog food whenever he felt a bit peckish.”

They managed to corral the big rooster into a cage and handed him over to the Charleston Animal Society “without further incident,” the sheriff’s office said.
