Video: Too much Christmas cheer for Santa?
SPARTA, Wis. — Santa Claus is in trouble with the law in one western Wisconsin city.
Police in Sparta say they cited a man dressed as Santa after witnesses told officers he stumbled out of a vehicle, approached several children playing in a yard, hugged them and demanded to know the whereabouts of his reindeer.
"He smelled like alcohol. So I knew it wasn't the real Santa because Santa doesn't drink alcohol," 9-year-old Katie Dockerty told WEAU TV.
Officers ticketed 55-year-old Thomas Arnold of Sparta for having an open beer in a car. The driver of the car in which he was riding was arrested for drunken driving.
