An Easter bunny was arrested on Thursday after he was found carrying more than chocolates and decorative eggs.
Joshua Lee Bolling, the man behind the mask, was reportedly acting “suspicious” during his breaks as the Piedmont Mall Easter Bunny in Virginia. KTLA reports that mall security decided to discreetly monitored him until, “eventually,” they found him with pills he did not have a prescription for.
The bunny was arrested and charged with illegal possession of prescription narcotics Thursday, though the police did escort him to a private changing area before making the arrest out of consideration for the children.
The police report stressed: “His suspicious behaviour took place while he was on breaks and not during his contact with children.”
In the words of Gawker: “Well, that’s a relief. Although how could anyone tell the difference between an Easter Bunny hopped up on Vicodin, and an Easter Bunny just getting into the holiday spirit?

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 6:04pmUm, it’s vicodin. That’s like 97.5% Tylenol with a very small amount of hydrocodone. I can’t believe this is an issue. The only way you can get high off of vicodin is to take so much you get acetaminophen poisoning or drink alcohol along side it. In other words it’s not really what I would call the drug of choice for an opiate addict.

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 8:56amPriorities: First we attended Easter Church Services and celebrated the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Savior; next, we went to Grandma’s house for covered dish lunch; THEN we had the pagan Easter Egg hunt for the little kids: wonderful family time together. That great day did NOT include a “ trip ” to the mall to be exposed to a drugged out bunny. God, Family, Country !

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 6:35pmClarification: First you celebrated Good Friday-Easter and called Jesus a liar. Jesus said He would be in the grave three days and three nights. He was crucified on a Wednesday and the resurrection was at sunset Saturday. 2. You went to Grandma’s house for a ham dinner. Semiramis, the Queen of Heaven, had an illegitmate son named Tammuz. When Tammuz was 40 years old he was killed by a wild boar. That is why you don’t eat meat for 40 days before Easter and then have a ham dinner. 3 . Then you went on a pagan Easter egg hunt. This is the traditional Easter.

It is not about drug abuse people, it is about who is allowed to have drugs.

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 4:32amThe people allowed to have the medication are the people that have a valid prescription from the doctor. If you don’t have a prescription in your name and you take the drugs, it is drug abuse. Financial status has nothing to do with it. If the rich socialite in your example was taking medication prescribed for someone else, she would be arrested too.

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 6:05pmRemember Rush got busted for this very same thing. I don‘t think it’s was a couple of little old vicodin though. If I remember correctly he liked the ones that went up the rump.

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 7:47amThey look the same in the face because drug abuse destroys the soul. Their bodies look like that because they don’t eat. Drug abuse destroys both the body and the soul. Slow suicide.

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 12:24amyes it was the most ridiculous arrest. still dont understand the appeal of creeps in costumes to parents. hey lets hang out with this creepy costume guy kids sit on his lap and eat his candy. but seriously who cares if he is taking pills. not this gal. how much cheaper would healthcare be if you bought these at the store instead of a $200 visit to the dr for them when you already know your tooth hurts or your back is out. would also get rid of the drug dealers but hey they are still saying we live in a free country so I must just be crazy

These thugs steal medication from the elderly, probably his mom.
