RADIO man Neville Pillay was temporarily arrested over "an animal-related charge" at a radio station in Umhlanga this week.
A man with a doughnut straight out of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Mazwi Mgobhozi, put it to Pillay his "ugly" impersonation of the "beautiful" werewolf in a Masood Boomgard movie opening on Sunday would bring disrepute to the oft misunderstood creature.
Said Mgobhozi: "A second cousin, twice removed, of the creature, a Mr Itaint F. Unny laid a charge of crimen injuria against the DJ. He claimed werewolves were handsome creatures. In the movie stills for Attack of the Indian Werewolf, he has claimed Pillay had made them look uglier.
"He told us this was abominable. He added even the abominable snowman looked better than Pillay's representation."
Thankfully for his radio fans, Pillay wrangled his way out by calling F. Unny Smythe and advising him his werewolf would have a shave.
He opted for self-imposed House arrest when he would watch Law and Order: SVU Season 8 premiere on Universal Channel (DStv 108) on Sunday at 10.25pm, immediately after his Attack of the Indian Werewolf 8.30pm premiere at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre as "penance".
"Actually it's a joy to watch, really incredible viewing," howled Pillay.
"Emmy winner Mariska Hargitay, the daughter of screen bombshelle Jane Mansfield, is a favourite of mine on Law and Order: SVU," he said looking up to the moon.
Mgobhozi, the actor, who stormed the studio to remind Pillay to catch the show after the Universal Channel's announcement of the season's SA premiere, presented him with a donut and hot coffee in true cop New York style.
"Ahooo! Now he's one of us," said Mgobhozi.
He left the radio station to promise arresting viewing on Universal Channel to other A-grade entertainment media in Durban.
