Police arrest three for bird killings: Police say teen committed crime in theft attempt
By STEPHANIE POTTER - H&R Staff Writer
DECATUR - The killings of three birds at the Scovill Zoo happened during a theft-attempt gone bad, police said in court documents released Wednesday.
The information was released on the same day Decatur Park District rangers arrested three Decatur men, two for their alleged involvement in the Oct. 31 killings of two Chilean flamingos and a white pelican, and a third for allegedly hiding evidence.
The men, Sean M. Riley, 26, Lloyd G. Pringle, 19, and Brandon Gossard, 19, were described as acquaintances of a 15-year-old youth who authorities think actually killed the birds. The youth was arrested and briefly detained at the Sangamon County Detention Center in November. The case against him is pending.
