Disgruntled Elf

William C, Caldwell III showed up at Southgate Mall in An Atlanta suburb and got in line for a picture with Santa. When he got up to Santa Caldwell claimed to have a bomb. Santa called the police who arrested Caldwell. Apparently claiming to have a bomb, even if you do not have one, is a crime as well. I guess he should have asked Santa for soap on a rope this year.

Soap on a rope.... Nope! Looks more like a Box of Tide dude to me.
