UVM Students Cited After Allegedly Stealing Live Chicken, Eating It in Dorms
Why did the chicken cross the road? According to University of Vermont police, it didn’t, but three students did allegedly cross into a local residence, steal a live chicken, and then kill and eat it late Friday night.
Cameron Dube, Darien Newman, and Hannah Jackman, three 18-year-old UVM students, were cited in court for unlawful trespassing and possession of stolen property for the late-night meal. Dube also was cited for cruelty to animals.
The theft allegedly took place at 216 South Prospect Street, the location of fraternity Alpha Gamma Rho, which describes itself as “a social and professional fraternity where our brothers have a dedicated career interest in agriculture or food/fiber industries.’’
UVM police deputy chief Tim Bilodeau said the fraternity, which has a fenced-in area holding several chickens on its property, called in the complaint.
Correction: This article originally said Dube, Newman, and Jackman faced charges. That was incorrect. Instead, they were cited in court for the charges.
