ANDOVER, N.H. — A homeowner in Andover is upset after a former town official walked onto his property and removed a part of his wooden bigfoot silhouette.
For the past few years, David Marceau has had a wooden silhouette of bigfoot on the edge of his property.
Marceau's son says this past December someone put a wooden cut out in the shape of male genitalia onto the statue. The genitalia was pointing toward a Hillary Clinton campaign sign.
Now, Marceau is angry because a former town selectman went on his property and removed that piece off of the yeti.
"It's not really a thing..It's something that's been there for the past three months...and she decided to come onto my property and take it down," said Marceau.

The woman who took it says she knew she was trespassing but felt the image was obscene and inappropriate, especially for children walking by.
“I would say what you’re looking at here is some political artwork that is protected by the First Amendment,” Gregory V. Sullivan, a law professor in Boston and the legal counsel for the New England First Amendment Coalition told NH1. “And that is not obscene. What’s obvious right away to me is what we’re looking at is political satire.”
She was asked by police to return the item to Marceau.
