“The police did a nice job of calming them down and explaining the individual meant no harm,” Tom Sullivan tells the Pioneer Press. “Fortunately, it had a happy ending and no one will ever think of Santa the same way.

“This guy ought to be examining his conscience … for what he did to those kids,” neighbor Margaret Marrinan told the paper. She's also a Ramsey County judge.
