A man posing as the Easter Bunny at Minot's Dakota Square Mall has been arrested for failing to register as a sex offender.

According to Valley News Live, 24-year old Daniel Elwell Sanderson plead guilty in December of 2015 to exposing himself to a 10-year old.

Unfortunately, neither the mall nor the temp service was aware of Sanderson's prior conviction. Police arrested him around 10 a.m. Wednesday morning, without incident.

The Minot Police Department released the following statement, regarding Sanderson's arrest:

Sanderson is currently locked up in the Ward County Jail.
