Boston Police Arrested the Easter Bunny For Lack of Egg Permits!

This is a bad year to be an Easter bunny! In Boston, the old girl was picked up by the local police on felony charges of not having a permit for her eggs, according to Boston Patch.

She must have been giving BPD a hard time for a while because Captain John Greland seemed to relish the arrest:

Ultimately, Greland told WBZ-TV that Easter would remain unaffected because someone bailed the bad-news bunny out with 24 carrots. We hope she learned her lesson!

Seriously, though, Greland’s Easter spirit is infectious. Listen to him laugh:
