A community in Tennessee is resting easy after an infamous rooster was captured this week. The bird stalked a Lenoir County store for days and became a Godzilla-sized tall tale as videos of the small beast were posted on Facebook.

"We usually get a handful of likes on our page, but this was our biggest hit,” said Stewart Starr, who manages a Facebook Page called Lenoir City TV. “We have over 41,000 views of the original post at this point as well as about 3,000 likes to our Facebook page.”

Starr said that as the story unfolded, the size of the bird was exaggerated. Although the rooster was regular size, rumors at one point said that the bird was 3-feet tall.

According to Starr, the bird pecked at the windows of the store and harassed the customers, even at times scaring children that came too close.

The video posted online was taken by a customer and shows Lenoir City police attempting to catch the crafty guy.

“I guess it took old time country methods to catch him,” said Starr. “I continually updated the Facebook page, and everyone seemed to really enjoy watching and reading about this rooster"

According to one of the clerks at Kenjo, the rooster was finally caught by man who lives in the area named Daryl Allen. Allen was the hero able to use his speed and determination to capture the rooster.

Allen released a statement on the rooster's behalf, saying the bird wanted to put his shameful past behind him and get on with his life. Allen also said he plans to add a few chicks to keep his new barnyard friend company.
