💚🍽️ GRINCH SIGHTING: BREAKFAST OF MISCHIEF 🍽️💚

After a long night of hiding from law enforcement, the Grinch reportedly woke up very hungry this morning 👀😴. Instead of laying low, he decided to make the rounds at some of our local restaurants!

The Grinch was spotted sniffing around The Camp House, Cajun Village, and Papa Dough’s, hoping to fill his belly and maybe sneak off with a little Christmas cheer on the side. 🎄🍕🌶️

Luckily, our local spots served up plenty of flavor and even more holiday spirit — proving once again that Christmas (and good food) can’t be stolen around here!

If you see a green fellow with a full plate and a guilty look, report the sighting… and protect your leftovers! 😄🎅

🚨🎄 SPECIAL POLICE STATEMENT 🎄🚨

Chief Daniel Gilmore has issued a message directly to the Grinch:

“Grinch, your hours are running out. These cuffs already have your name on them. No one is stealing Christmas under my watch. Our officers are on the lookout, and you will be caught before Santa comes to town.”

Let this be a warning to any green, furry suspects causing chaos around town — Christmas cheer is protected here, and law enforcement is working around the clock to keep it that way. 🎅🚔

Stay alert, keep spreading holiday cheer, and report any Grinch sightings immediately. This case will be wrapped up before Christmas morning! 🎁✨

🎄💚 GRINCH ALERT on Brick Street! 💚🎄

The Grinch has been spotted roaming Brick Street and causing mischief at our local businesses! 😱

He paid unwanted visits to Alexander’s, Pink Panda, and Addy B’s, where he attempted to steal Christmas spirit, decorations, and maybe even a few smiles. Luckily, the cheer was too strong and the Grinch was no match for our amazing local shops! 🎁✨

If you see a green, furry troublemaker lurking around Brick Street, remind him that Christmas lives strong in our community — and it’s not going anywhere!

🎅🎄 Support local, spread cheer, and keep an eye out… the Grinch may still be on the loose!

🚨 GRINCH SIGHTING AT CITY HALL 🚨

Attention citizens! The Grinch was spotted lurking around City Hall today causing absolute holiday chaos. 👀🎄

Witnesses report he was:
• Peeping through office windows like he was looking for his next victim 👀
• Attempting to steal city trucks (apparently sleigh maintenance wasn’t going well) 🚛😬
• Trying to steal the city Christmas tree AND the presents 🎄🎁
• Attempting to take over as MAYOR, declaring himself “more qualified and far grumpier” than current leadership 🗳️😤

Before fleeing the scene, he left another note for Chief Daniel Gilmore, proving once again that mischief—and bad leadership—are on his holiday agenda.

City staff acted quickly, the Christmas spirit prevailed, and the Grinch’s mayoral campaign was shut down before any executive orders could be signed. All festive items are safe… for now.

Please stay alert, secure your decorations, and report any suspicious green individuals promising “less cheer and more chaos.” 💚

🎅✨
