Drunk Santa Claus Asks Kids, Where's My Reindeer? (Video)

SPARTA, Wis. (CBS/AP) Santa Claus is in trouble with the law in one western Wisconsin city.

Police in Sparta say they cited a man dressed as Santa after witnesses told officers he stumbled out of a vehicle, approached several children playing in a yard, hugged them and demanded to know the whereabouts of his reindeer.

Officers found the car and arrested the driver, 47-year-old Kevin Arnold of Sparta, for alleged drunk driving. The man dressed as Santa, 55-year-old Thomas Arnold of Sparta, was cited for having an open intoxicant in the car. He was released at the scene.
