BREAKING NEWS: Duck in the road!

By ANN MARIE AMES Saturday, January 7, 2012 - 8:58 p.m.

EVANSVILLE--An unidentified duck is blocking traffic near the Good Speed Gas 'n Go, 350 Union St., Evansville.

A caller reported the duck to Rock County Communications dispatchers at 8:50 p.m. Saturday.

The reporting party chased the duck into the gas station at least twice, but the duck continued to walk into traffic, according to dispatch reports.

(This is just a picture of ducks. It's not a picture of the offending duck. Really, you can never have too many pictures of ducks.)

It's Saturday night. I've got a fresh cup of tea and the scanner is on. Life is good!

They're probably from Oregon and flaunting their victory.

That's nothing, drive up Afton road at 730am and try to avoid the dozen or so Turkeys every morning!
