Police in Ohio let a seemingly armed “Santa Claus” off the hook after pulling over a speeding Ford Escape being driven by a motorist in a white beard and red suit.
The Fulton County Ohio Sheriff’s Office posted bodycam video of a deputy making the traffic stop that started with the driver warning he has a concealed carry weapon permit. “Mrs. Claus” appeared to be in the passenger seat beside Kris Kringle.
“Santa has a CCW?” the officer laughs. “Times are rough!”
Police indicated on Facebook that the driver — who also had a parking permit for people with disabilities hanging from his rearview mirror — got off with a warning.
“Ho ho *hold on!* 
Santa and Mrs. Claus were spotted flying a little too fast through Fulton County,” officers wrote about the stop that occurred Saturday night. “No coal was issued—just a friendly reminder that even sleighs need to slow down. Christmas is still on schedule! 
Stay safe and happy holidays!”
The unidentified driver explained that he was dressed as St. Nick to visit his daughter’s office, which is in the area. The officer warned the man dressed as Santa Claus to slow down because there’s deer in the area and the driver was moving faster than 55 mph.
Both the cop and the Clauses appeared to find the encounter jolly.
