(Byram, MS) — A five-year-old Mississippi boy couldn’t take on the neighborhood Grinch by himself so he got backup from the local police department. TyLon Pittman told USA Today he called 9-1-1 Saturday night after he spotted a would-be thief because he did not want his “Christmas stolen.” But when police showed up they could not find a burglar. However, a short while later officers returned to TyLon’s home with a costumed Grinch, who was dressed in a Santa suit. Officers and TyLon apprehended and escorted the Grinch to jail. His older brother, who is home on leave from the Air Force, recorded the Grinch’s arrest. The Grinch won’t be charged with attempted Christmas theft if he keeps a secret promise he made to his new friend TyLon.
