Previous Page Next PagePolice officers in Ohio were stunned when they pulled over a speeding driver and found Santa Claus behind the wheel – with a concealed carry weapon.
Police in Fulton County, Ohio, stopped a car on December 20, but when they walked up, the officer burst out laughing when he saw a man with a white beard and red suit.
The driver alerted police that he had a CCW – a Concealed Carry Weapon, which allows citizens to carry hidden firearms in public legally.
‘Santa’s got a CCW? Times are rough,’ the patrol officer laughed.
After telling Santa why he was pulled over just days before Christmas, the officer let him go with a warning.
‘There goes my presents,’ the deputy joked.
On social media, the Sheriff’s Office wrote online: ‘No coal was issued—just a friendly reminder that even sleighs need to slow down.

Earlier this week, illegal immigrants in the US were warned by ICE to ‘avoid Santa’s naughty list’ in a bizarre AI-generated video depicting Father Christmas as an immigration officer.
The strange video, shared by ICE via X (formerly Twitter), shows Father Christmas with his long, white beard wearing his traditional Santa suit – but with a menacing twist.
Over the top of his uniform, AI Santa wears military-style fingerless gloves and a red bulletproof vest with ‘ICE’ emblazoned across the front.
He is seen checking the magazine pouches on the vest, while several other ICE agents behind him are checking their equipment.
A huge US flag hangs on the wall.
In the next clip Father Christmas, still in his tactical gear but this time wearing his hat, is seen handcuffing a man.
The screen goes black before the message ‘Merry Christmas’ is displayed.
