Minnesota Sheriff Does Grinch Rhyme About Vandal’s $10K Damage

A Vandal in Minnesota cut down $10,000 worth of Christmas trees and this county Sheriff released a Dr. Seuss-like rhyme about the arrest of the Grinch going to jail.

The Star Tribune says a Minnesota Grinch recently snuck onto a Christmas tree lot in the 3300 block of Cedar Creek Road about halfway between Pine City and Hinckley Minnesota where he cut down $10,000 worth of Christmas trees.

Pine County Sheriff Jeff Nelson rhymed about the arrest ….

No one knows why a Grinch hates the whole Christmas season.

Now please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason.

But this caper of Christmas must not,

because he did his best to cut down and steal the whole tree lot.

Reportedly over 10,000 dollars of trees did fall.

So to the Sheriff’s Office the victim did call.

Deputies and investigators took to the road and gained probable cause.

They set out to find this not so Santy Clause.

The trees were recovered and back to the lot they did go.

Meanwhile, deputies waited for the Grinch to show.

When he came out, the deputies he did see, and now the Grinch is in custody.
