MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) — Manchester, Conn., police are investigating the
theft of an American flag from a man in a chicken suit.
The Hartford Courant reports (http://cour.at/ML9gUJ ) that Eric Didio was
waving the flag and dancing outside a newly renovated Boston Market restaurant
Wednesday as part of his job, when a man jumped from a car, grabbed the flag and
took off.
A customer who witnessed the theft called police.
The newspaper reports that the dispatcher had a hard time relaying the call
to officers, breaking into laughter while trying to say "chicken suit."
Nathan Atwood, the restaurant's general manager, says he stood beside the
23-year-old Didio for the rest of his shift to provide security.
No arrests have been made.
