The Pickens Police Department in South Carolina recently arrested a highly unusual suspect in what they’re calling a “high-profile case.” Reports of burglaries across town led officers to a home where the suspect was caught red-handed attempting to make off with a Christmas tree and gifts.
After a brief pursuit, the suspect—described as green, furry, and sporting a Santa hat—was apprehended and tased. Identified as none other than “The Grinch,” he now faces charges of “first-degree stealing Christmas” and “third-degree onion breath.”
This festive tongue-in-cheek operation highlights the department’s playful side as they bring holiday humor to their community. Locals have had a laugh, but the Grinch might be regretting his attempt to swipe Christmas cheer this time.
Adding to the holiday spirit, the Grinch even made a surprise visit to newborns at a local hospital earlier in the week. While his intentions remain dubious, his capture marks a lighthearted moment in the midst of seasonal celebrations.
