After being kidnapped twice, the KFC Colonel is back home in Astoria and will be on display today in the lobby of the KFC restaurant at 324 W. Marine Drive.

“He’s a little rough around the edges,” said KFC manager Alsinea Hutzler of the huge white fiberglass statue of KFC founder, Col. Harlan Sanders, missing this time for a year and a half.

Kelso, Wash., police called last week with news that he’d been located. He was being looked after by a resident. On Wednesday, Hutzler and an employee sprung him from his jail cell and drove him home with one of his giant white arms sticking out the car window.

The colnel was first stolen in 1999, losing a foot that had been bolted to the floor in the process.

Hutzler plans to refurbish the Colonel and place him on a bar stool with his extended arm resting on the Chicken Run pinball game inside the restaurant.

Hutzler says she plans to keep a close eye on him from now on.
