Man Drinks One Too Many Jägerbombs, Ends Up Sleeping With Chickens

Don't count your chickens before you've sobered up and asked yourself the question, "What am I doing here in a barnyard coop?"

No good story starts off with drinking several Jägerbombs, we can tell you that. Jordan William Fincher was arrested in West Linn, Oregon, this past weekend for burglary, trespassing, and criminal mischief. The intoxicated man was found in a chicken coop in the wee early morning hours this past Saturday.

His bizarre behavior obviously ruffled some feathers, and after the man was questioned about his quirky crime, he said he only been trying "to keep the chickens warm."

Fincher, 23, was booked on Monday, and is being held in the Clackamas County Jail, with bail set at $22,000, according to Oregon Live.

Sgt. David Kempas, a West Linn Police Department spokesman, said in a statement that they received a call about a possible home intruder from the owner of the chicken coop shortly before 5 a.m. on Saturday because he believed that there was a possible chicken thief or prowler on their property. Thankfully, Mr. Fincher was only doing his duty as a poultry-warmer, and there was no intentional fowl-play.
