Hippity Hoppity Community Service Is On Its Way

From the Des Moines Register: Hopping-mad Easter Bunny faces charges

A Council Bluffs cottontail hopped down the bunny trail to jail on multiple harassment charges Saturday.

Police were dispatched to Mall of the Bluffs in response to a call of disturbance by a man dressed as the Easter Bunny.

Officers found Michael J. Desantiago Sr., 36, of Carter Lake, who told them he was working as the Easter Bunny at a photo area when somebody threw water and other items at him. He said he became frustrated, left the area to change clothes, and returned to tell a co-worker he was leaving. He said the employee yelled at him and called security.

The photo employee and a witness said Desantiago threatened to kill them.

Officers took Desantiago into custody and charged him with two counts of second-degree harassment.

Can't you just hear the prison banter?

"What you in for?"

"Well, you see, first my bunny suit got wet......"
