At least they didn't shoot it or taze it

No fowl play suspected.

When a chicken somehow got loose and blocked traffic in Nashville, authorities were called in. As it turns out, they bit off more than they could chew.

The bird outran everyone — except its own sweet tooth.

According to UPI, cops chased the bird through the city’s downtown before Officer Frank Campbell was able to catch it using a Little Debbie snack. Not even the chicken could resist the lure of an oatmeal creme pie.

As for its punishment — the bird won’t end up on a plate. Instead Metro Animal Control is taking care of it until it can be handed off to an animal rescue group.

It looked mostly white or at least the first half was white.
