Grinch Arrested In Edison, Kids Asked To Teach Him Holiday Spirit

EDISON, NJ — The Grinch was arrested in Edison for trying to sabotage Christmas, and Edison Police are hoping local children can help him get back in a holiday mood.

Police caught the Grinch stealing Christmas presents in Edison last week, and he was arrested and charged with larceny and trying to sabotage Christmas (watch a video of his arrest and court date below!).

As part of his sentence, the Grinch will stop by local Edison schools, parks and businesses to meet with local children (weather permitting) this month. He'll be locked safely in a portable jail cell, police said.

Police ask that every family bring an unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots.
