December 2, 2024 – Although not dressed in green, a “grinch” was caught on security camera tackling and depleting a blow-up Frosty of his much needed oxygen at a local business on Main Street late Saturday night. The offending suspect, wearing a dark coat, khaki pants, red ballcap and tennis shoes calmly walks up behind the unsuspecting holiday character, pouncing on the decoration and collapsing Frosty to the ground as an accomplice walks by and films the crime in progress on a cell phone. The heinous act is captured on video by the owners of the Fox & Fig Home Decor store located at their new location on Main Street. The owners vowed to repair or replace Frosty and return the holiday spirit to their patio. Sulphur Springs Investigators are in possesion of pictures and videos of the incident as they try to determine the identity of the vandals. If you have any information about the incident, or the can identify either member of the holiday hit-and-run team, contact SSPD at 903-885-7602.
**UPDATE** Frosty the Snowman Offenders have turned themselves in to authorities and made restitution to the owners of Fox & Fig as well as apologized for their actions.
