Police tell man to stop wearing bunny suit in public

An Idaho Falls man has been told not to wear his bunny suit in public anymore after neighbours complained that he was frightening small children.

The Idaho Falls Police Department received calls on Monday of a man in a bunny suit that was being a public nuisance and frightening children in a neighbourhood. Police responded to the calls where they advised 34-year-old William Falkingham not to wear his bunny suit costume in public.



According to reports, a resident told authorities that her son had been frightened by Falkingham who was wearing a black bunny suit and hiding behind a tree. The neighbour also told police that the 34-year-old male pointed his finger like a gun at her son.

Officers also spoke to other neighbours who expressed that they were greatly disturbed by Falkingham and his bunny suit. Neighbours also reported that the 34-year-old occasionally wears a tutu with the costume. Falkingham told authorities that he enjoys wearing the suit, but understands the neighbours’ concerns and complaints.

His antics with the kids are one thing, but forbidding the suit is another. Isn't this literally a case of fashion police?

We all deserve to act out our inner bunny, don't we? What next?
