LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police are pulling out a turkey costume for a pre-Thanksgiving crosswalk sting operation.

A costumed officer is set to be trolling crosswalks Tuesday morning at Maryland Parkway and Reno Avenue, south of Tropicana Avenue. Police will ticket motorists who don't stop for the poultry-suited pedestrian.

Fines for failing to yield to pedestrians in Clark County start at $195 plus court fees.

Authorities say the sting is meant to raise driver awareness during the busy and often-stressful holiday season.

There have been 27 pedestrians killed in Clark County so far this year, including six in the past month.
