Several chickens died in a school prank that trashed Tullahoma High School.
Tullahoma police say the high school seniors stole the chickens from a Tyson chicken farm.
Three seniors are now in serious trouble with the law.
Principal Mike Landis said, “This was a senior prank that went way over the top.”
Landis said this is the worst senior prank he has ever seen.
He said, “They took the live chickens and threw them around lockers, put them in lockers. Obviously when we came to school Friday morning, we had quite a mess.”
Police say the chickens were kicked and thrown down the...
...hallways like bowling balls.
Others were stuffed into lockers.
About 13 chickens were killed; others were left bleeding and hurt.
A school surveillance camera captured the gruesome images.
Three Tullahoma High School seniors are charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, burglary and vandalism.
Eighteen year olds Ronnie Dale Glasglow and Paul Andrew Mitchell turned themselves in to the Coffee County Jail Monday morning.
The third senior will face charges in juvenile court.
Robert Taylor said, "I have no idea what would make somebody do that, I really don't."
The surviving chickens are now being cared for at the farm of Public Works employee Robert Taylor.
Taylor said, “All you can say is they were traumatized.”
As for the boys involved no word yet on whether they'll graduate with the rest of the senior class.
Principal Landis said, "Why they would do that? My uninformed opinion is that it’s the work of a disturbed mind.”
The high school hired a cleaning crew to clean up the mess because chickens can spread diseases through their blood and feces.
F()king assholes. I went to high school at THS and find this down right sick. I think that the kids should be held back another year for doing this and not allowed to have anything to do with the school for one year. Also some jail time would be in order. I talked with someone who had kids that go to THS and they said that they used the chickens as bowling balls down the long main hall and stuffed them in groups in lockers. And anyone who knows chickens will kill each other when confined and allowed to move, they panic.
This is the work of some sick kids that need some real mental evaluation before being allowed to return to school and a part of normal society.
Oh and force them to watch the new tapes and video of chickens getting killed for 8hrs a day for a week. Lets toss this to some creative sentencing.
