REDWOOD CITY — A man has been sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for killing an ostrich in San Mateo County.
Timothy McKevitt will also have to pay $5,000 in restitution for killing Gaylord the ostrich.
Authorities say McKevitt and his friend Jonathan Porter and a few others were drinking on Halloween last year and decided to trespass on a ranch.
Gaylord the ostrich apparently grew incensed and attacked and injured both men.
Porter and McKevitt later returned to the ranch with a rifle and shotgun and killed Gaylord.
Porter has already served a sentence of five months.
