A statue outside an Apache Junction restaurant has sparked what city officials are now calling
the case of the 800-pound rooster.
How much the statue actually weighs is up for debate. Its owner and city officials can't agree on how
they got to this point, much less whether to call it a rooster or a hen.
For three days, the giant aluminum fowl was perched atop Hitching Post Pizza and Pub off
Arizona 88 approaching the Superstition Mountains. Owner Mehmood Mohiuddin envisioned it as a sort of landmark.
That was until the city made him take it down. On Oct. 12, a city building inspector flanked by two policemen
cited Mohiuddin for erecting the statue without a permit. He's now facing a criminal charge that could result
in a $2,500 fine, six months in jail and three years' probation.
