Mark Eliseuson stands in his yard in Hayden Thursday next to what is left of a snowman that had depicted a white hooded figure associated with the Klu Klux Klan. After being notified by law-enforcement officers that he could be charged with a crime because the snowman was holding what appeared to be a noose, Eliseuson said he removed the snowman's head.
