On Sunday, December 1, 2024 at the Maplesville Old Fashion Christmas a subject wearing all Green and a very peculiar face, started acting very suspicious around the booths, but with no probable cause available, an arrest could not be made at the time. Later that evening, at the Stanton Christmas Parade, the same subject was spotted again, acting very strangely and intoxicated on Egg Nog which ended up in his arrest. Subject was transported to the Chilton County Jail and was charged with Public Intoxication with high levels of Egg Nog, Disorderly Conduct, Theft of Property with intent to steal the Christmas Cheer and Resisting Arrest.

Subject is currently grumpy while he waits to get sober. District Judge Chris Speaks, set a bond in the amount of 500 Candy Canes and the Condition of Release for 40 hours of community service work in Santa's Workshop. At the end of this ordeal, while being released the subject showed remorse and felt all toasty inside. Then he thought of something he hadn't before. He said, "What if Christmas doesn't come from a store...What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!" 

Sheriff John Shearon wants to commend the Deputies on a job well done, and keeping the citizens safe!!

Sheriff Shearon and The Sheriff's Office wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
