ANKENY, Iowa (KCCI) — An Iowa man has been sentenced to probation after driving his vehicle into a flock of geese.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa announced Tuesday that Joseph Thomas Lamb, 82, of Ankeny, has received a six-month probation sentence.
Investigators say Lamb was driving his vehicle on the morning of June 10, 2025, on State Street in Ankeny. He stopped to let a flock of nine Canada Geese cross the street in front of his vehicle, then accelerated into the geese when they were in the middle of his lane. One of the geese died.
Canada Geese are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
In addition to Lamb’s probation sentence, he was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine.
