Sycamore Township 'zombie' nativity ordered to be taken down

[Garrison Hilliard]

DEER PARK, OH (FOX19) - Sycamore Township has ordered the nativity
scene featuring zombies to be taken down.

Jasen Dixon, manager of the '13 rooms of doom' haunted house, decided
to work with what he had when he decided to put up the nativity scene.
The exhibit features a zombie baby instead of the baby Jesus in the
manger.

According to documents obtained by FOX19 NOW, Sycamore Township does
not allow structures to be located in the front or the side yard to
occupy more than 35 percent of the area. Also, the primary structure
must be three feet from the street, and six feet from the house.

Dixon says this is his second violation since the exhibit was put up.
"I've lived here for 15 years and I've never had a violation of any
kind," Dixon said. "It's a holiday decoration. I know if it was a
real pretty nativity scene they wouldn't be saying anything."

Dixon has until Dec. 26 to take down the scene. If he does not take
down the exhibit, legal action will be taken.


(I really hope this guy claims religious persecution of expressing his
Santeria celiefs!)
