What happens in Vegas can end up in a courtroom.
Two University of California Berkeley law school students were charged with crimes -- one with felonies -- in Las Vegas after being accused of beheading an exotic bird, according to reports.
Prosecutors say Justin Teixeira, 24, and Eric Cuellar, 24, stole a 14-year-old helmeted guineafowl from a cage at the Flamingo resort and casino on Oct. 12. The pair were seen on surveillance video chasing the bird into some trees, and then emerging a short time later with the bird's body and its severed head, The Associated Press reported.

Teixeira's charges include felony killing and felony torturing of an animal, while Cuellar's charge is a misdemeanor. Teixeira could face prison time if convicted, while Cuellar's maximum sentence is six months in jail, the news agency reported.
