At 12:15 PM, Fozzie Bear was arrested in New York City for publicly masturbating inside of a New York “Build a Bear” shop. Fozzie Bear entered the premises at 11:48 AM looking for a present to get for his friend Scooter, allegedly for his upcoming birthday. But onlookers became very distressed when they noticed that Mr. Bear was clearly rubbing his groin at the sight of the cotton being stuffed into the bear. He began to make breathy noises that sounded like an elongated, “waka…..waka…waka…” When the bear came out of the machine, Fozzie “came” as well as he stuck his penis inside the newly stuffed bear. At this point, a young female customer screamed and one of the employees called the authorities.

Charges have not been pressed by the Build a Bear corporation or the customer’s mother, however, Fozzie Bear’s publicist Animal issued a statement on his behalf: “ANIMAL ANIMAL! AHGAGHAGHAGHAH”
