Santa’s traded in his sleigh and reindeer for a pair of hot wheels and a disregard for the law.
A motorcyclist dressed as Santa Claus outran Florida police in a high-speed chase Saturday night, leaving the cops in the dust as he went on his merry way, wild dashcam footage shows.
The criminal Kringle was speeding through Beverly Hills, Fla. at a breakneck 120 miles per hour when a highway patrol trooper caught him haphazardly weaving in and out of traffic, officials said.
Dashcam footage from the trooper’s car shows the officer gaining on the not-so-Saint Nick after the motorcyclist refused to slow down for a traffic stop.
“Santa” veered through multiple lanes of traffic while trying to shake off the persistent trooper in hot pursuit, the clip shows.
He eventually cut through a gas station and looped back around onto the main road, slowing down the trooper’s cumbersome vehicle, before disappearing into the December dusk, according to the video.
“The sleigh must be in the shop, but last night Mr. Claus didn’t pause for any cause. Anyone that recognizes ol’ St. Nick please feel free to call *FHP (*347) and let us know!” the Florida Highway Patrol -Tampa wrote on X.
Authorities are still searching for the slippery Santa. He was seen riding a white motorcycle with a blue trim, a far cry from the real Saint Nick’s red sleigh.
The motorcycle-riding Santa wasn’t the only one on the naughty list this year.
Holiday deviance on the roads has been all over this season.
In Texas, a truck driver also trying to escape a police pursuit drove his vehicle through a JCPenney, injuring multiple shoppers before he was gunned down by a slew of authorities including the cops chasing him, mall security, and off-duty officers incidentally at the mall.
Off the roads, other household holiday characters have been tussling in the streets.
In Mexico, two street performers dressed as the Grinch and Santa Claus duked it out over a tip dispute. An injured Saint Nick had apparently been slugged, and both men were arrested.
