Two defendants accused of killing a duck from the Central Alabama Community College pond were granted youthful offender status Monday.

Jacob Thomas Frye of Cartersville, Georgia and Thomas Grant of Wetumpka were CACC students when authorities said the pair took the duck during a party thrown by CACC students. Attorneys for the two had previously filed motions seeking youthful offender status for Frye and Grant. Fifth Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jeremy Duerr explained to Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Steve Perryman he has strongly opposed to the defendants receiving the status.
