A Florida woman is accused of attacking another driver after that person ran over a chicken crossing a road in Key West, Florida, on July 9, police said.
The suspect in the case was identified as 38-year-old Cynthia Diaz Sosa who told officers with the Key West Police Department she had stopped her car on Petronia Street and was “waiting to let a chicken cross the road” when the situation grew tense, Law and Crime reported Tuesday.
The other driver apparently grew frustrated and began honking, eventually passing the suspect’s vehicle. That driver reportedly ran over the chicken and killed it.
Sosa claimed she wanted to teach that driver “a lesson” and pursued her. When she caught up to the other drive, Sosa allegedly tried to open the other driver’s door. When she finally got it open, Sosa allegedly attacked the driver and someone else in the vehicle with bear spray as the chaos unfolded.
Police later found the suspect and she was arrested on two counts of aggravated battery along with other charges.
Social media users had mixed reactions on the chicken situation, one person writing, “I don’t see an issue here, let my girl go free. And rip chicken.”
“Gotta admit, I’m kinda on the fence with this one. Which is probably where the chicken should’ve stayed,” another user commented, while someone else said, “I mean… she did right by the bird.”
Feral chickens became a common sight in Key West after settlers arrived in the 1820s, according to CBS News.
Corey Malcolm, who is the lead historian for the Florida Keys History Center, said the settlers sold the fowl to residents and years later when the Cuban migration began they brought cockfighting with them.

When this happened on the farm we knew what was for supper.....................
DAMNIT! You have to let it get to the other side
Some headlines are easier to write than others.
Florida woman keeping up with Florida man.
he couldn’t wait for a chick?
Why, why, WHY did you cross the road?
As part of her sentence, Cynthia Diaz Sosa should be forced into vegetarianism. If she’s willing to attack a human being over the death of a chicken in a roadway, let her never consume an animal again.
My thought exactly. Now we’ll never know.
When's the last time she attacked someone for aborting an unborn child?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To show the ‘possum it could be done.
Waffled chicken?
If anyone has ever been to KW you will know that those dam things are everywhere and they’re not in any hurry to move. My favorite breakfast restaurant (Blue Heaven) has them all over the dining area.

It finally happened. Speeding car + slow moving hen = a puzzle.
Now they’ll never know WHY it crossed the road.
