Detroit police crack down on organised pillow fighthttp://www.3news.co.nz/News/Internat...1/Default.aspxMon, 06 Apr 2009 6:03a.m.
Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organised pillow fight at a downtown park.
The Detroit News reports that police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants. The bout was part of a worldwide event organised on social networking websites.
Michael Davis of Hamtramck says police confiscated the 32-year-old man's pillows but returned their cases. He says he was told that he needed a permit.
Scott Harris of Ferndale told the News that it's "not illegal to own a pillow".
Detroit police spokesman James Tate says cleanup was the issue.
