A chicken truck lost its load in front of Rockwell Farms Nursery in Rogers Tuesday morning (May 7).

For several blocks a George’s Chicken truck scattered live and dead chickens on Hudson Road. Police reports say several people stopped and helped get the chickens safely out of the road. Arkansas Game and Fish officers stopped the truck driver and told him he was losing part of his load.

The company sent crews out to clean up the mess.  Luckily the spill didn’t cause any accidents, according to Rogers Officer Keith Foster.

The owner of the Susie Q. Malt Shop property in Rogers has applied for a packaged liquor license, according to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC).

Some customers are concerned this business, considered a staple, might be replaced by a liquor store if approved.

Its application to the ABC is part of a lottery. State liquor authorities will only issue 55 liquor licenses in Benton County and its received hundreds of applications.

Susie Q. has been part of the Rogers community since 1960.
