A man dressed in a chicken suit who was heckling Senate candidate Bob Corker at the Election Office at Fourth and Georgia on Friday drove away after running over a Corker volunteer. The volunteer, Bryan Shannon, 30, said he had gone out to try to take a picture of the heckler when he took his suit off when the incident occurred. He said he was bumped by the car as he stood in front of it with his cell phone camera, then hit again and thrown on the car, then hit a third time and thrown against the windshield. snip He said, "It sounded kind of ludicrous to be telling the police officer that I just got hit by a man wearing a chicken suit. "I'm happy I was not more seriously hurt. It's a little frustrating. It's just a political campaign." The man, driving a black 1994 Volvo with Shelby County tags, was gone when police arrived at Fifth and Lookout streets.
