Mayor Kelly Yeade received a package of penis-shaped candy, sent through the website Dysfunctional Veterans, last week.
The group's website, and its accompanying Facebook page, describe its community as "a brotherhood and sisterhood of veterans rooted in sarcasms and the things that remind us we are not alone."
The Dysfunctional Veterans website sells a variety of items such as T-shirts, hats, mugs, flags, patches, and pranks.
The website offers "Eat a bag of d----" under its prank gift category with the following description:
"Don't you wish you could just tell that special idiot you know to eat a bag of d----? Wouldn't it be even better if you could actually give them a bag of d---- to eat? Now you can!"
Yaede's office received the candy last week, when the mayor wasn't in.
"My staff intercepted it and then asked the Hamilton Township police department to find out the origin of the package," Yaede told NJ Advance Media. "When I was alerted to it I didn't give it a second thought, and laughed it off."
It wasn't me who ordered the investigation. Apparently one of my staff was a little teste.
Dysfunctional Veterans made a post on their Facebook page about the police investigation including a screen shot of an email they received from the Hamilton Township Police Department, requesting to speak to someone at the company about the purchase.
MAJOR CRIMES: The Honorable Mayor of Hamilton NJ received a BAG OF DICKS... She has enlisted the help of her police department to investigate who sent this! Not just any cop either - she has a MAJOR CRIMES detective on it! As usual, we don't turn over the names of our customers unless we are compelled to by a court. The detective was cool by the way... go easy on him.

Yaede then put an end to the brief investigation into who sent the candy.
"I took all the dicks off the case."
"It was a prank and that's all I took it as," Yaede said.
Good thing it wasn't you who made such a dick move.
