Santa Claus Popped For Public Drinking
Meet Charles Pierce. The 42-year-old Maryland man--dressed in a full Santa Claus costume--was just arrested by Ocean City cops who found him staggering on the street with a cup of beer in his hand. The tipsy Pierce--who apparently works as a freelance Santa--first told cops that he was drinking water, but later admitted to swigging some Natural Light. Pierce, who was nabbed at 1:30 AM Monday (12/2) after leaving a tavern, told police that he was "trying to bring smiles to peoples' faces." Pierce, charged with public possession of alcohol in an open container, told TSG, "I guess they hate Santa Claus down here." Before police took the below booking photo, Pierce--who also dresses as the Easter Bunny--removed his white beard and other Santa accoutrements. (3 pages)
