Wild turkey struts through Cleveland Heights

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS -- The suburb of Cleveland Heights may be nuclear free but something happened to the birds.

A wild turkey has been roaming the city for some time.

He's friendly enough, as long as you keep your distance.

That turkey is no chicken about crossing the road and gobs of people have stopped to gander at the gobbler.

Police are worried it may cause an accident, but so far the animal warden hasn't been able to trap it.

And by the way, to the hungry ones out there, killing it is against the law.

That would be hunting and there's no hunting in Cleveland Heights.
