How the Joplin Police Department saved Christmas

Who says police officers don't have a sense of humor?

The accompanying photo, posted earlier today on the Joplin Police Department Facebook page has gone viral, locally, at least.

I am still waiting for the booking photo of this suspect, who has only been identified as A. Grinch.


JPD accompanied the photo with this description:

And it was at that moment, on the north part of town, Joplin Police Officers knew that they had saved Christmas for the city below! Merry Christmas from the Joplin Police Department!
