Crash in WV leaves ammo and chickens on road

Chickens, AK-47s, ammo, and drugs… yep, this sounds like a West Virginia parody, but is bizarrely, tragically real:

Just before 4 a.m., Seth Grim was driving a 1998 Ford Explorer with Pennsylvania plates and rolled it over on Interstate 79 near Amma, West Virginia. A dog tried to jump out of the window, which might have helped cause the wreck. Unfortunately, the dog later died and Grim was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to his upper torso.
Here’s where the story gets wacky. In the back of his explorer were 35 to 40 chickens along with an AK-47 and a large amount of ammunition. Also in the back of his vehicle was a device that police were extremely concerned about. The “improvised explosives” prompted a higher level of response.
The West Virginia State Police Bomb Squad out of Williamson was sent to the scene and removed the device.
Initially, all of the chickens were reported to have made it out alive. Our reporter, who was on site during the shutdown of the interstate, tells us that some of the chickens died.

Seth Grim, suspected of fowl play.

Perhaps it won’t be entirely surprising to discover that drugs were found amid the splattered chicken bits and 7.62×39 ammo. Grim was arrested on the suspicion that a quart jar found in the car was filled with marijuana… apparently authorities are still questioning whether or not
I don’t know about you, but I’d love to be a fly on the wall as detectives tried to get Grim to explain the mix of drugs, fowl, ammo and the alleged “IED” in his possession.
What the heck was he doing?

EH, unless there is concrete evidence he had bad intentions, it's none of anybody's business. Sounds like a traffic citation is in order though.

I guess his night didn't turn out eggactly like he thought it would.

I have no idea what he was up to...and, i'm not totally sure I want to

west virginia+ chickens = abomination.

Can you imagine driving with 40 chickens and a dog in your car at 4 am? I can't imagine not wrecking.

Isn't there a riddle about this? Guy has a chicken, a dog and some corn but only enough room to carry one thing at a time.

Oh no he had some Mary Jane. Please call the dea we have a situation on our hands! As for the chickens.... To each his own. Maybe the man likes his eggs fresh.

Maybe the crash was because he was choking his chicken?

I heard the truck he was driving really cock blocked him this time.

Wakefield 's chicken buddies - bet on it.

He was probably on the lamb after illegally harvesting PA forest chickens.

If you keep chickens free range, about the only time you can really catch them without some chasing involved is when they are roosting. When they are roosting you can pretty much just pick them up. So not necessarily that strange to transport them after dark at night or early am. I've done that quite a few times myself. Of course I would hope the chickens were contained and not just running around the back of the Explorer.

Also not that strange to have a gun and ammo in the car.

Now the MJ could cause him some issues. Should probably be legal, but it isn't as of now.

Who knows about the IED ... could really be something or typical overreaction.
