Overview
- A Fulton County, Ohio deputy stopped a speeding Ford Escape on December 20 around 5:44 p.m. and found a couple dressed as Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.
- The driver immediately told the deputy he holds a concealed-carry permit, prompting laughs captured on the deputy’s body-worn camera.
- The couple said they were on their way to surprise their daughter at her workplace, according to the exchange recorded on video.
- The deputy issued a verbal warning instead of a ticket, posed for a photo, and the encounter ended with holiday well-wishes; one account notes Mrs. Claus handed over a candy cane.
- The sheriff’s office posted the footage and a playful caption on Facebook, and the clip was widely shared by news outlets and social media users.
