Treadway robbed a 7-Eleven of approximately $280 and exited the store calling for his pet emu, Big Steve, whom he had tied to a bicycle rack as his getaway mount. Big Steve had untied himself three minutes earlier and wandered to a nearby Sonic, where he was unsuccessfully trying to drink from a discarded slushie. Treadway attempted to mount the emu directly while holding the cash. Big Steve, who weighs 130 pounds and has — per a veterinarian — ‘no functional capacity to be ridden by a human being,’ rejected this by sidestepping and eating a twenty and most of a ten. Big Steve then ran into the road. Treadway chased him on foot yelling ‘Big Steve! Big Steve!’ until deputies apprehended him a quarter mile away. Big Steve was taken into custody separately and is reportedly ‘adjusting well’ at a local sanctuary.
