St. Paul Police are dealing with one of the most bizarre crimes of the year.
Witnesses say a hotel guest at the Embassy Suites on 10th Street entered the hotel lobby about 2:30am Saturday.
He began chasing one of the domesticated ducks the hotel keeps in a fountain.
According to police, the man allegedly cornered the duck, grabbed it and tore its head from its body.
Witnesses say he yelled "I'm hungry and I'm going to eat it!"
The 26-year-old man has been jailed on felony animal cruelty charges.
