Don’t Trust That Elf, Hand Me the Handcuffs

Tim Ward was in his car at Lansing District Court when he noticed police motioning him not to move.

When what to his wondering eyes did appear, a man dressed as an elf with all of his gear.

The elf turned out to be Joshua Castilla, 18, who had bolted from a probation violation hearing hours earlier and had stolen the elf suit from a car, police said after arresting him.
