Mall officials alerted the police after the man in the Easter Bunny costume started “acting suspiciously” in between his breaks while visiting with the children.  It must have been pretty suspicious since we’re talking about a guy who is dressed up in a giant bunny costume in public. 

Mall security and police officers tracked Bolling’s movements as he worked in the mall.  They allegedly seized some prescription drugs off of Bolling that he did not have a valid prescription to possess.  Police arrested and charged him with illegal possession of prescription narcotics. 

Mall officials assured the public that police did not arrest the Easter Bunny in front of the children.  They also said the “suspicious behavior took place while he was on breaks and not during his contact with children.”  The story did not specify exactly what the “suspicious behavior” was that prompted the call to police.  Either way, the Easter Bunny is putting some very interesting “treats” in this year’s crop of Easter eggs.
