Police Beat Snowrection
The girl just wanted to have a little fun:
"We just did it because we were really bored, and we thought it'd be funny," she said. "It was huge."Yes, indeedy!
...the 6-foot tall, anatomically correct, finely detailed penis raised some questions Monday.Apparently the police trespassed to commit this mischief.Especially for police.
"We got some calls that people thought it was offensive," said New Windsor police Chief Michael Biasotti. "We assumed it was some kids who did it."
Officers found no one home. Assuming the snow sculpture was more prank than nod to Christmas' pagan roots, the police knocked it down. Beat it down with shovels, actually.
