(Reuters) - Police in Idaho Falls have told a man to stop wearing a bunny suit in public after people complained he has been frightening children.
Residents in the northwestern
city of 54,000 people also reported William Falkingham, 34, occasionally
wears a tutu with the bunny suit, police said in a statement on
Tuesday.
Police warned Falkingham
after a woman said she saw him dressed in the costume, peeking at her
young son from behind a tree and pointing his finger like a gun.
While
a police report said other residents were "greatly disturbed" by his
activities, one neighbor defended Falkingham as eccentric but otherwise
harmless.
"He's got the bunny
outfit, a cowboy suit and a ballerina dress but you don't see him except
where he's tripping through his backyard," Deborah Colson told Reuters.
"He's got a strange lifestyle at home but we all do weird things at
home."
Falkingham told officers he
"enjoys wearing the suit" but understands the concerns and that he could
be cited as a public nuisance, police spokeswoman Joelyn Hansen said.
