CLIFTON, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey dentist is vowing to put his Easter Display
back up at a dental office in Clifton, after a female neighbor used gardening shears to damage it.
A television news crew was filming the decorations around 1 p.m. Tuesday when the woman — who lives in a home across the street from the dental office and identified herself as Desire Mozek— took it down.
The owner of the display, Wayne Gangi
said he is in the process of filing a restraining order against the woman. Gangi said he thinks she appears to have been seeking attention rather than justice due to moral outrage.
Clifton police are investigating the incident, but it wasn't clear Wednesday if the woman will face any charges.
Gangi estimated the damage to the display at $500 to $1,000.
Gangi, called it a "spoof." He said the idea came to him when he saw giant Easter eggs while walking around a Party City store. He added that he liked Playboy bunnies when he was a child and thought the display would be funny.
