Robert Sosebee of Austell, Georgia came home to find he had been ticketed for keeping livestock in the city. But he doesn't own any chickens, except for a couple of ceramic hens decorating his lawn.
The enforcement officer apparently relied on a complaint and had not looked for the chickens himself. Code enforcers later tore up the ticket. Link

Sosebee believes that one of his neighbors might have seen his ceramic chickens on the front lawn and called the county, thinking that the chickens were real.
“The code enforcement officers brought me a paper violation saying I had some chickens, but I didn’t," said Sosebee.
