Horrifying images show trail of destruction left by 'drunk' driver who 'slaughtered 25 seagulls' - as his wife's bubbly response to cops is revealed
A vacationing Jeep driver accused of deliberately mowing down 25 seagulls on a beach has been charged with animal cruelty.
James Shephard Travis, 64, was sent a court summons at his home in Hawaii this week by the Pacific County Prosecutor's Office in Washington.
The seagull slaughter unfolded at about 8pm on July 27 on Klipsan Beach near Ocean Park, Washington, in front of shocked beachgoers.
Witnesses said the rented silver Jeep Wrangler was 'drifting sideways past stuck vehicles and people' at 50 to 60mph.
A mother and nine-year-old son said they were almost run over while walking their dogs as the SUV sped up and down the beach.

Travis was identified by police after one witness snapped photos of him behind the wheel of the bloodstained car, with one of the birds still lodged in the grill
Travis was identified by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police after one witness snapped photos of him behind the wheel of the bloodstained car.
Kim Ledyard McGee said she, her wife Bob and friend Dorothy Howard witnessed the man speed along the beach and swerve into the birds.
'We watched him plow through the flock without slowing down at all, and did not swerve to avoid any birds,' Howard told police.
Soon after, they saw the Jeep coming back and Bob blocked it with his car, which was when they confronted Travis and took the photos.
Travis was 'in a daze' 'kept saying sorry in a quiet, monotone voice... appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol', the police report read.

Travis was in town for the Ilwaco High School class of 1984 reunion, where his wife, Gena Snow-Travis, 58, (pictured) went to school
'A few minutes later, he passed us again at a high rate of speed. After the third time, Bob flung our beater truck sideways right in front of [him] forcing him to either hit us or stop,' McGee explained in a Facebook post.
'We jumped out screaming at him... He even still had a dead bird in his grill! After we reamed him out, he still took off at a high speed.'
McGee took photos of the driver and the Jeep, which had pieces of seagulls lodged in the grill, along with video of numerous dead birds on the sand.
The trio gathered three birds that were still alive to take them to a wildlife center for treatment, 'but sadly they died in our arms'.
'So upset and something I won’t be able to un-see or forget,' McGee said.
The police report said 'the seagulls had crushing injuries consistent with a vehicle strike'.

Travis was in town for the Ilwaco High School class of 1984 reunion, where his wife Gena Snow-Travis, 58, went to school, and they stayed with her parents.
Pacific County Undersheriff Mike Wray was at the same reunion, a golf event, and told police he saw Travis there about 2:30 pm and believed he was intoxicated.
The couple, who have been married for 15 years, flew into Portland Airport and rented the silver 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid.
The car was returned to Budget Rental Car about 8.30pm on July 29 and police examined the car and found feathers still stuck in the grill.
Travis and his wife had flown back to their home in Honolulu, where Snow-Travis works as a real estate agent for Private Homes Hawai'i.
Travis is charged with first-degree animal cruelty (a class-C felony) and reckless driving, and faces up to five years' jail and a $10,000 fine if convicted
Witnesses also took video of numerous dead birds on the sand
Police repeatedly called and texted Snow-Travis and she eventually replied: 'Thank you! I have given Jim the information. He will be contacting you soon. Aloha.'
However, the police report said Travis never made contact with investigators.

'Travis drove in a reckless manner, and at a high rate of speed, nearly striking pedestrians and several dogs,' police alleged.
Prosecutor Craig Newman said Travis would be issued a summons to return to Pacific County and appear in court, or a warrant would be issued for his arrest and possible extradition.
