Police in Oregon were surprised to find a man peacefully sleeping in a chicken coop early on Saturday.
Police were even more surprised when the groggy man told them he was just trying "to keep the chickens warm."
But when Jordan William Fincher told officers he earlier had been drinking "Jägerbombs" in Oregon City, police at least had a reason. Jägerbombs are made by dropping a shot glass full of 70-proof Jägermeister liqueur into a glass of beer or Red Bull energy drink.
But a reason is not an excuse. Fincher, 23, of West Linn was arrested on suspicion of burglary, trespassing and criminal mischief. He was arraigned on Monday in Clackamas County Circuit Court and is being held in the Clackamas County Jail, with bail set at $22,000.
Sgt. David Kempas, a West Linn Police Department spokesman, said a homeowner called 911 at around 4:50am to report a prowler on his property. When officers arrived, they were directed to the chicken coop in the backyard, where they found the man lying in one of the nesting rooms.

I don't think the guy had the mens rea for burglary or criminal mischief. I don't think he had the mens rea to know which way was up.
And Jaegerbombs? Seriously? Putting cough syrup into your beer is cool?
You want a trip? Suck on a lozenge from Fisherman's Friend. When the lozenge is fully gone, you'll be so happy you won't need anything else.
