HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. - This Santa didn't need his reindeer to fly - police charge he had pot in his pocket.
Authorities in a Detroit suburb have cited a man dressed in a Santa suit who was visiting a middle school.
A deputy found the pot in the pocket of a coat that had been left in a restroom. Wayne County Sheriff's Department officials say the man dressed as Ol' Saint Nick said the coat was his, but denied knowing anything about the pot. The man was at the school with his wife, who was taking pictures of the kids with Santa.
Lt. Paul Jones says the woman wasn't very happy. He adds it's going to be a long ride back to the North Pole.
