Wednesday, May 14, 2014

Whiting PD was detailed to the 1700 block of Center Street to a report of a subject in the area shooting birds from his back deck with a rifle.  Officers checked the residence in question and spoke with the owner who advised that he was shooting sparrows with a BB gun to keep them away from the purple martin birdhouse.  Officers advised the subject to stop shooting birds.
