SANTA IS SUCH A BADASS: A 20-year-old drunk spotted a man dressed as Santa Claus in a parking lot in Leigh Acres, Fla., and started mouthing off, asking if he had any gifts for him. Santa said no, so the guy took a swing at him. 
Santa responded by decking the guy with one punch. He then drove off before the cops showed up. The other guy was arrested for misdemeanor intoxication.

DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? A man dressed as Santa Claus tried to run over a Pennsylvania police chief who had stopped him and asked to see his drivers license. 
Santa appeared to have been drinking.

THE SUSPECTS SHOULD BE EASY TO SPOT: Three cows wandered away from a farm in Easton, Pa., three months ago and have been eluding authorities ever since. 
The wily bovines have been spotted in back yards at night and one resident complained that they stubbornly blocked her driveway for a time before slipping away. An area-wide cowhunt is under way.

EXCELLENT DETECTIVE WORK: Three boys broke into a candy machine in a Gainesville, Fla., laundromat and made off with the contents. They were caught when police followed a trail of candy wrappers to one of the lads who was sitting on his bike. He admitted everything and turned in his co-conspirators.

SO HE WAS PRETTY MUCH ASKING FOR IT: Three months ago, Pennsylvania passed a law banning the use of a cell phone while driving a car. So far, only one man has been charged. And this is because he almost hit a police car.
