A Big Commotion
Sculpture
Woodcarving by Mario Sanchez depicting a scene at the corner of Duval and Angela streets. The Chicken Thief stole a chicken from Benito's and is running down the street while being chased by a police officer.
Caption written by Sanchez reads, 'Every once in a while a man, who was an expert stealing chickens, made the rounds on Duval Street. Here we see the fat cop running after the thief, but never caught him. The dog barking and trying to scare the thief, the chickens that got away from the open cage and Benito, the owner of the store, yelling 'Killie Gray, bring back my chicken''.
