Okay, okay, we gave the Somerville Journal a little heat for a boring blotter headline, but they definitely have our attention with the following: "Witness Says Knife Suspect Was Eating a Chicken Leg With Sauce."

On January 2, two men tried to hold up a guy at a bus stop on Broadway. However, one of the perps must not have been taking the mugging too seriously, as the victim noted he was eating a chicken leg with barbecue sauce at the time.

A Somerville officer had no problem finding the alleged muggers, as he spotted the chicken-leg eater finishing up his snack inside the Winter Hill Liquor Mart.

But the chicken leg part isn't as funny as the fact that the Somerville PD confiscated the chicken bone. The full story must be read to be believed.
