SC teens on a four-wheeler, motorcycle terrorized a turkey house. Now 200 animals are dead
South Carolina teenagers on a four-wheeler and a motorcycle terrorized a turkey house and damaged crops, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office said. Now more than 200 birds are dead.
Deputies were called to a residence in east Sumter County on Monday for a civil dispute, to investigate a complaint of the property owner.
An investigation found that the owner asked the teenagers to leave the property Sunday after he discovered the doors to their turkey houses were open and tracks from an ATV and a motorcycle were inside.
When the owner entered the turkey houses, he found more than 200 birds dead, that appeared to have trampled one another, Sumter sheriff’s office said.
Deputies also found that the “juvenile joy riders” also damaged crops.
Three teenagers admitted to driving the vehicles on the property and inside the turkey house, the sheriff’s office said. The case will be handled in family court.
