Arrested because he joked about Mandela: Police hold shopkeeper for eight hours, take his DNA and seize his computer - after local councillor objects to off-colour internet comments
-Neil Phillips from Rugeley, Staffordshire, was also finger-printed
-The 44-year-old insisted he meant no harm saying there was 'no hatred'
-Local Councillor Tim Jones complained about the one-liners
-In one online post, the 44-year-old wrote: 'My PC takes so long to shut down Ive decided to call it Nelson Mandela.'
-CPS said they would not be prosecuting because of insufficient evidence
Tasteless: Neil Phillips, 44, insists he meant 'no harm' when he posted the jokes online
Outrage: Liberal Democrat Councillor Tim Jones was so incensed by the comments he made an official complaint
