Police Capture Wild Turkey Causing ‘Chaos’ Inside Indiana Supermarket: ‘No Harm, No Fowl’

Police in Indiana had quite the mission when they were called to remove a wild turkey from a local supermarket.

Bodycam footage worn by officers from the St. Joseph County Police Department showed their efforts and teamwork on Thursday, April 10, inside the grocery store.

“9-1-1, what is the address of your emergency?” a dispatcher is heard saying at the start of the clip, which was posted to the department’s Facebook page.

After sharing the location as Martin’s Super Market Pharmacy, the male officer is heard telling the woman, “There’s a very large turkey that just went in the store.”

He noted that the bird was “chasing” people around and he “didn’t know who to call first.”

As the officer approached the wild animal that sat perched on top of a display shelf near the pharmacy, multiple items were scattered around on the ground, likely knocked down by the turkey’s large tail.

Employees and other responding officers were also seen in the footage.

“We need animal control out here,” he told the dispatcher, reiterating that the bird was “really big” and “chasing customers.”

“It’s like, knocking everything from the shelves,” he continued.

While the officer did have a blanket to drape over the turkey for the removal process, K9 Officer Kyle O’Konski went in with just his hands.

O’Konski appeared to be giving himself an internal pep talk, inching closer to the animal and positioning himself to be ready as other officers warned him to be careful about the turkey’s talons.

As he went all in to grab the big bird, the turkey began frantically flapping its wings. The St. Joseph County Police Department even made their own special edit, rewinding the video to make the moment more intense.

Products could be seen flying from the shelves during the commotion.

As added cheer audio played, O’Konski made the turkey removal look easy, holding the animal with just one hand as he and his team escorted it out of Martin’s Super Market Pharmacy.

“One turkey detained,” the dispatcher said.

Once they were outside of the store and closer to a wooded area, O’Konski turned the bird loose.

O’Konski smiled and held up a victorious fist after getting the turkey to safety.

“Call of the Wild (Turkey): Anyone hear about a turkey causing chaos in Martin’s?” the department captioned the video.

“The good news, no harm, no fowl. The turkey was peacefully escorted off the premises and released completely unharmed,” their post added. “Props to all responding officers — especially K9 Officer O’Konski, who’s now certified in poultry negotiations!”
