Armed madman in purple Ferrari with pet duck sends newspaper deranged messages during police standoff
NY Post ^ | 3/18/26 | Bianca Heyward

San Francisco’s streets have seen their fair share of oddities — but a gun-toting man with a pet duck riding in the backseat of a purple Ferrari may take the cake.

Police arrested 51-year-old Brian Currier on Monday after he allegedly waved a gun at a pedestrian, authorities said.

The flamboyant gunslinger then barricaded himself inside his apartment in the luxe Nob Hill neighborhood, prompting an hours-long standoff, according to cops.

Neighbors told The San Francisco Standard that Currier was a local curiosity, often spotted zipping around in his flashy purple Ferrari with his duck, Daisy, like a loyal sidekick.

As police surrounded his apartment on Monday afternoon, Currier fired off a string of bizarre, unhinged emails to the outlet that painted a chilling picture of his state of mind.

**SNIP**

About an hour later, the situation escalated. “CALLING ALL ALLIES TO COME TO MY HOME AND REMOVE THE ASSASSIN FAKE COP TEAMS ASAP,” he wrote, claiming his apartment was encircled by “child-torturing fake cop assassins.”

After the arrest, Animal Care and Control reportedly took Daisy in.

In one message sent around 2:40 p.m. with the subject line “EYE HEART SF,” Currier reportedly warned that anyone in San Francisco who “stepped outside their home”would be “put into eternal torture.”

Surprisingly, he's not wrong. Dood probably made a fortune selling poop maps.

Not so many Ferraris have back seats.

Great, a keyboard commando to boot. With the ever-present 'Wite out' conditions in SF Bay, at minimum he could have applied himself by writing a useful tell-all book instead of aimlessly roaming the streets of.

So the duck is an alien and using mind control on its human thrall.

The duck is now infiltrating law enforcement.

Reporters asked him, what is the first thing he does every morning?

He started singing:

I get up
I get dow-ow-own
I get up
I get down....

The Ferrari people don’t like the name sullied. He either surrenders to the police, or Ferrari will send in their teams, and kill the duck right in front of him before they bust him up. 🚘😉😜😏

Weird Al Yankovic tried to intervene. The police asked what the suspect wanted. Al quoted him “I want a new duck.”

I want to apologize to the LGBTQ for using the term Gay.

I want to apologize to the NAACP for using the term Colored People.

Sounds like a guy we had back home. He’d ride around on his old Schwin bike with a bucket on his head — Loony Lyle. I always wondered what happened to him
