Police Report: Drunk Driving, Ducks in Distress

A little bit of wildlife made its way to the Bayshore Town Center area Saturday morning.

Three police officers responded to the corner of Lydell Avenue and Day Street at 9:20 a.m. Saturday on report of a mother Mallard duck in distress over 10 chicks falling in a storm grate.

Police were able to remove seven of the 10 chicks with a net, but police officers and Wisconsin Humane Society workers were unable to locate the remaining three chicks in the next level of the sewer.
