The Easter Bunny in Council Bluffs, Iowa, has hopped his way to jail and is facing two counts of harassment, police said.

Authorities received a call Saturday afternoon about a man dressed as the Easter Bunny who was causing a disturbance at a local mall.

Police said the 36-year-old man told officers he was working at the mall’s picture-taking area when someone threw water at him.

Police say the man left the area, changed clothes and came back to tell a fellow employee he was leaving.

The employee said she became frightened when he started yelling at her. Police said the "bunny" also threatened another person to get out of his way.
