EAST LIVERPOOL — The St. Clair Township police department apparently just had enough of the Grinch’s antics, so the green one found himself standing in court Wednesday before East Liverpool Municipal Court Judge Dominic Frank.
“Mr. Grinch, we are here today because you stole Christmas and were mean to children,” Judge Frank explains to the defendant, who was accompanied by his defense attorney Joe King.
A green hermit with an unnatural hatred of all things Christmas, the Grinch has made a name for himself for more than the last six decades by plotting to ruin Christmas by sneaking out disguised as Santa Claus, so he can steal all the presents, according to his rap sheet.
