Louisiana: Karl Percle, 54, accused of shooting at neighbor's peacocks

LOUISIANA -- A Choupic man is accused of shooting at his neighbor's peacocks, injuring one, because they were making noise.

Karl Percle, 54, 256 Coteau Lane, is charged with aggravated cruelty to animals. He was released from the Lafourche Parish jail Monday morning after posting a $2,500 bond.

About 1:25 p.m. Sunday, deputies arrived on scene after a report of a gun being fired, Lafourche sheriff's Sgt. Brennan Matherne said today. Percle, who had complained to the peacocks' owners about the noise in the past, had reportedly fired his rifle at the pen.

Matherne said the Sheriff's Office's records show no noise complaints from Percle in the past few years.
