Police seize four-foot penis
The boss of a furniture store has reacted angrily after a four-foot tall stone penis was seized from his shop in a police raid, the Metro reports.
46-year-old Jason Hadlow’s prized Indonesian penis carving was snatched by police after a member of the public complained about the £200 phallus, which was on display in his window.
He was told to pay an £80 fixed penalty notice, or face prosecution for causing ‘harassment, alarm and distress’ - and was told he can only have his penis back if he promises not to put it on display again.
Hadlow, who runs the Simply Dutch store in Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire, has now started a Facebook campaign for the return of the phallus, which he has naturally called the ‘Free Willy’ campaign.
And his experiences have not put him off the stone penis trade - he told the Northern Echo that he’s ordered over a hundred more of the phalluses: “I have got a container of them coming in four weeks, which contains a minimum of 150 of the willies.”
