LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. — An Alabama teenager was arrested Thursday after he followed through on a bizarre threat to kill his mother’s chicken unless she mended the relationship between him and his girlfriend.
Haden Smith, 18, was arrested Thursday and charged with domestic violence third degree and criminal mischief.
Deputies say the situation started when Smith texted his mother, threatening to kill one of her chickens every 15 minutes until she contacted his girlfriend’s parents and attempted to mend their broken relationship.
Smith gave his mother a deadline of noon before he started to kill the chickens. He also threatened to burn his mother’s house down, kill any deputies that arrived on the scene, and kill himself, according to the sheriff’s office.
Smith then began sending his mother picture messages of each chicken he killed at 15 minute intervals, killing six in total before he was arrested, deputies say.
There’s no word on Smith’s current relationship status.

Somewhere in our country at least one fair maiden will be smitten by the love bug for Mr. Smith. What more could any girl want?

Not true. Ditzy women are only interested in men who kill other women. Chickens doesn’t do it for them.

I hope he is about to enter a long term relationship with his cellmate, Bubba. What kind of sociopath could kill poor biddies to manipulate his mother? Does he hate eggs or something?
bob
Who would break up with a gem like that in the first place? Silly girl.
Brandon Heller
i’m sure she’s smitten now.

Rebellious child I would say, what would then happen when the girlfriend leave him for another guy!?!
