Duck, Duck....Goose?

A Denver man who witnesses say ripped the head off a tame duck that lived in a pond in a hotel lobby is under arrest in St. Paul.

Scott Clark, a guest at the Embassy Suites hotel, cornered the duck early Saturday, ripped its head off and turned to onlookers and said: "I'm hungry. I'm gonna eat it."

"He was allegedly drunk," St. Paul police Sgt. John Wuorinen said.
He's being held on suspicion of felony animal cruelty. If convicted he could face up to two years in prison and be fined $5,000.
