Authorities in Summit County took time during their Christmas with a Cop event Saturday morning to spread Christmas cheer and jolly laughter

SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio (Mix614 Columbus News) - Yes, he still very much is a mean one. The Grinch, that is.

Authorities in Summit County took time during their Christmas with a Cop event Saturday morning to spread Christmas cheer and jolly laughter.

Their attempt at a humor included deputies arresting the protagonist from the 1966 holiday classic.

A Facebook Post from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said the department was ‘alarmed’ by the Mount Crumpit resident’s actions

We’re very alarmed to announce that a theft occurred at this morning’s Christmas With a Cop. Fortunately, an arrest was made immediately. He was a mean one…

The Grinch’s trusty canine companion, Max, did not have any role to play in the crime, but a couple of Summit County K-9 officers had roles to play in the arrest. A court date for the bad banana with a greasy black peel has not been set.
