"He gave it his best Rocky Balboa impression but he lost sight of the bird around Church's Chicken restaurant," they wrote.

The rooster repeatedly sprinted just outside of Land's grasp before hiding underneath a police vehicle and ultimately making its escape.

"Not sure what happened to it from there," police wrote. "If anyone sees it, we have a warrant for Felony Fowl Evading!"
