Christmas Crimes

Apparently we've moved beyond stealing lawn ornaments.

• An Oklahoma woman was arrested after she visited the Delaware County Jail with a Christmas card for her incarcerated boyfriend. Police said the card held marijuana, leading to Dawn Smith's arrest.
• A motorcycle-riding Santa Claus with a stuffed Rudolph in his sidecar was arrested after allegedly grabbing an 8-year-old girl from outside a South Carolina convenience store. The man was in his Claus outfit filling his bike with gas when the girl's family stopped by the store.
• In Ohio's Hamilton County, a pair of 18-year-olds were arrested for using screwdrivers to stab an inflatable 12-foot-tall Frosty the Snowman. "Why me?" asked Frosty's owner. "And why Frosty?"
• David Allen Rodgers, 42, was arrested Dec. 3 for driving while intoxicated — at the wheel of a float during the annual Christmas parade in Anderson, S.C.
• In Wichita, Kansas, a mother of three came home to find burglars had kicked in her door. They took presents under the tree, turkey for the family's Christmas dinner, TV and computer.
• An Australian soccer player (they call them "footballers") was arrested for causing grievous bodily harm while home for the holidays. The fellow party-goer is still in the hospital with head injuries.
  
• In England, police are investigating the death of a young father who was found beaten up in a street. Ten men, aged between 16 and 22, and a 20-year-old woman were arrested over the murder of Daron Hargreaves, 32, who died after being attacked in Stoke-on-Trent.
