NYC Man Sues Father-in-Law for «Tasmanian Devil Terrorism»

Local Editor

A 62-year old man is facing charges of criminal contempt and aggravated harassment for allegedly bullying his son who is afraid of a Warner Bros cartoon character.

Yunes Doleh, 62, was arrested after violating a restraining order filed by Mazen Dayem, his son-in-law. The altercation occurred in November during a funeral, when Doleh started intimidating Dayem using his bushy toupee in an apparent attempt to impersonate the Tasmanian Devil.

"He walked in as I was already there. He removed his wig, made hand gestures. It's just a very large fear of mine, his damn wig. Him and his hair reminds me of the Tasmanian Devil hair. I truly and genuinely have a large fear of wigs now. It's a genuine fear. I have nightmares," Dayem told the New York Post.

As Dayem explained, he has an acute phobia of Taz the Tasmanian Devil, a Warner Bros cartoon character, and his father-in-law has capitalized on this fear since 2013.

Doleh now faces charges of criminal contempt and aggravated harassment, with his attorney describing the entire situation as a "family dispute."
