Bad Santa

Bad Santa is one of the most underrated comedies of all-time and sadly, I do believe it’s not too far from the truth. At least not for this guy in Wisconsin.

Police reported to a call Tuesday afternoon, in which a concerned mother told 911 that a man in a red costume had entered her yard and hugged her children. He also reportedly asked the children if they had seen his reindeer.

Santa was feeling extra jolly, but apparently society no longer deems ”hugging” a friendly gesture nor can a suburban mother differentiate between a man in a red suit and Santa Clause. 

“He smelled like alcohol,” nine year old Katie Dockerty told reporters. “So I knew it wasn’t the real Santa because Santa doesn’t drink alcohol.”

An even better follow-up question would have been, “How do you know what alcohol smells like, you’re nine years old? Is your father an alcoholic?”

A patrol car dashboard camera shows officers pulling over a car to find Thomas Arnold, 55, riding as a passenger in the Santa suit. He was arrested and charged with having an open can of beer in a vehicle. The driver, Kevin Arnold, was also arrested for possessing open liquor as well as drunk driving.

Police said the boozy Saint Nick was on his way home from a Christmas party and they believe he had no bad intentions.

“He thought he was spreading good cheer and in some lights he may have been,” Sparta Police Chief Mike Kass said. “I don’t think Mr Arnold had any ill intent — I believe his level of intoxication probably impaired his judgment.”
