Cheyenne's 4-H tom turkey stolen

October 13, 2017

This is Tom Sebastian, a Narragansett tom turkey being loved and raised by Cheyenne Cada as her 4-H project. At around 7 a.m. today, Cheyenne's mom, Liz, heard their turkey hen raising a fuss outside their home on Comanche Street in Bonners Ferry, and later went out to find Tom Sebastian gone. As he is so big, the only way Tom could get out of the pen, Liz said, is for someone to have taken ... stolen ... him. Cheyenne, a well-known bird and critter lover in the community, wants Tom Sebastian back home. Liz has filed a police report, and she too just wants Tom back, though she is skeptical. At the time he was abducted, Tom Sebastian was wearing a blue leg band from his avian flu test. Anyone who has seen Tom Sebastian or who has information that might help reunite he and Cheyenne is asked to call the sheriff's office, (208) 267-3151, or call Liz at (208) 610-0232.
