Man suspected of setting fire to chicken coop in Lancaster

by City News Service • July 9, 2021

LANCASTER – A man who authorities say set fire to his family’s chicken coop in Lancaster is at large Friday morning.

Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lancaster station were called at 11:30 pm. Thursday, July 8, to the 43000 block of 55th Street East to find the coop on fire, said Lt. Ethan Marquez.

Los Angeles County firefighters arrived on scene and extinguished the fire, Marquez said.

The suspect  fled the scene when he saw the deputies arrive, Marquez said. He confirmed that several birds died in the fire.

“Our deputies looked for him but could not locate him. We think there are some mental health issues involved here,” Marquez said.

Marquez could not confirm that the man also attempted to set his residence on fire.

No further information on the incident was immediately available Friday morning.

    What is going on in Lancaster? Has everyone just flipped out? Every day there’s a new video with Rex making some ridiculous statement about vaccinations, fake sheriff shootings, bird sounds, 60 ft high Buddahs, shooting homeless if they try to rob you, Bangladesh being wiped out, and on and on and on. Is it the water? Is it the air?

      If it’s in the water or air it must be the water or air in Laguna Beach, not Lancaster. Wrecks spends very little time in Lancaster. Just enough to pick up payoffs and instruct the bagmen disbursing the loot to his cronies.

    We’re just lucky the farm wasn’t in the buffalo wing business, a stampeding herd of bison could be very dangerous.

      Why not an air fryer for the fryer?

    Maybe he wanted some fried chicken, misread it and went for fired chicken?

      Wow you must regret this post,

      Absolute lack of humor on the left, this is what they mean when they say, “the left can’t meme” folks

        All the comments appear satirical. Why bring up politics?

          Hey, Engineer Bill

          Did you also notice that under a bunch of satirical comments, Beecee posts one that’s like a turd in a punchbowel. She does that.

          What’s even more like her is that she’s pointing a finger at Democrats for not having a sense of humor which is exactly what she demonstrated about herself.

          She can’t help shooting herself in her ‘feets’.

        Was that the best you could muster, BeeEss? Rather disappointing, really.

        If it was Basic Clown committing the “epic burn” on these chickens they’d still be alive today.
