A New Jersey man who notoriously decapitated a seagull after it tried to snatch a French fry from his daughter has been sentenced to eight months in jail and recovery court probation.

Franklin Ziegler, 30, definitely ruffled more than just feathers when he was spotted back in July 2024 near the Surfside Pier at Morey’s Piers & Beachfront Waterparks in North Wildwood. Witnesses saw him clutching the poor headless bird, looking around asking staff for a trash bag.
