Accused Deadly Duck Couple Goes to Court

What a pair of quacks.

The South Florida husband and wife accused of hatching a plot to rid their Palm Beach Gardens community of ducks are going to court.

Robert and Blain Aymond face misdemeanor theft charges after they rounded up eight ducks belonging to their homeowner's association and hired a trapper to take them to a shelter where they'd be killed, according to the Palm Beach Post.

The trial was expected to begin Monday morning.

Prosecutors say the Aymonds had trapped the ducks on their patio and planned to have them destroyed before the neighborhood duck lovers could rescue them.

The Aymonds could have gotten out of the duck debacle easy, after a judge offered to drop the charges if they paid a $270 fine and apologized to their neighbors. The couple declined the offer.
