Who's Afraid of the Big Bad... Santa?

Someone working at an area business called police to report the suspicious presence of a man dressed as Santa Claus sauntering up the sidewalk.

They were alarmed by the sight, they told police.

We frequently hear reports of suspicious activity, suspicious people, and suspicious vehicles come over the scanner.  However, I do believe this is the first ever "suspicious santa report" anyone in the newsroom can recall.
