ST. CLAIR COUNTY — The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of the Grinch on Monday, Dec. 9, 2019.
Sheriff Bill Murray said in a press conference the Grinch was taken into custody without incident.
“Residents of St. Clair County can sleep well tonight,” said Murray.
Detectives said the arrest was made possible thanks to a credible tip and an investigation. The sheriff’s office confirmed the Grinch was planning to steal Christmas.
The Grinch was taken to the St. Clair County Jail where he will remain until his heart grows in size. No word on the charges he will face if his heart does not grow.
Jail sources said the Grinch’s Christmas spirit was showing great improvement late Monday afternoon.
He is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
