Police officers aren’t usually known for having a great sense of humor, but that’s because they witness the tragic outcomes when people choose to break the law each day.
However, once a year, officers from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee show off their less serious sides and spread some holiday cheer by ‘arresting’ one of Christmas’ most infamous bad guys.
Each year, the police officers stage a fake arrest of a burglar with a green, hairy face, otherwise known as The Grinch, and the officers just shared this year’s arrest on their Facebook page to spread holiday cheer.
“Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office arrested The Grinch of Mount Crumpit Sunday night for aggravated burglary,” Sandra Brandon, Public Information Officer, wrote in a fake press release. “Deputies were dispatched to Whoville after reports of a suspicious green man dressed in a partial Santa costume was seen lurking around homes with Christmas trees and chimneys.”
“Several residents of Whoville reported items missing from their homes. Toys, gifts, food, candy, cookies, and dog items. As deputies patrolled the neighborhood, the Grinch was seen leaving the Mayor’s home with several large bags filled with the missing items and the Mayor’s Christmas tree,” the police said.
“The Grinch was taken into custody by Deputy Moss and booked into the Montgomery County Jail. His bond was set at one million whomolians.”
Can you believe these police officers do this every single year to spread holiday cheer to everyone in their community?
