Featherweights: Detroit police halt pillow fight
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT - Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organized pillow fight at a downtown park.
The Detroit News newspaper reports police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants.
The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking websites.
Michael Davis says police confiscated the 32-year-old man's pillows but returned the cases.
He says he was told he needed a permit.
Scott Harris of Ferndale told the News it's "not illegal to own a pillow."
Detroit police spokesman James Tate says cleanup was the issue.
Mr. Harris can just go ahead and sell his crazy somewhere else because the Detroit Police Department is all stocked up. Not illegal to own a pillow yet is what he should have said. That can change. Then he's going to look pretty stupid resting his head on a wad of rolled up sheets.
