    'Frosty the Snowman' arrested at Maryland parade

    CHESTERTOWN, Md. (AP) — Who says "Frosty the Snowman" has to be jolly?

    A man in a "Frosty the Snowman" costume was arrested Saturday during the annual Christmas parade in Chestertown, on Maryland's Eastern Shore. He's accused of scuffling with police and kicking at a police dog.

    Sgt. John A. Dolgos tells The Star Democrat of Easton that 52-year-old Kevin Michael Walsh became agitated when a dog-handling officer tried to escort him away from the crowd.

    Walsh told The Associated Press that he has dressed as Frosty in the parade for at least 10 years. He says he was wrongfully arrested. He says an officer hassled him after he remarked about the police dog's presence. He says he became agitated only after getting arrested.

    Walsh was released on his own recognizance.

      Police are baffeled, they arrested Frosty and put him in the back of a warm cop car but
      when they got to the police station to book him he had escaped leaving nothing behind
      but a carrot , top hat , and a few chunks of coal and a very wet back seat.

      I'm sure it was a fine scene for the kids watching them arresting Frosty for making a comment. That's class.

      Sounds like overreaction of the cops.

        Actually, "Frosty" has a history in town as he's already been banned from town hall due to outbursts at mayor and council meetings. He already has a very short leash.

      Dogs love to urinate on Snowmen,,, Frosty probably told the cop to keep the dog away before it #$%$ on him.

      What idiot brings a dog to a parade with people dressed up in costumes. Youre just asking for that dog to attack someone and then the cop blames the guy whos been doing this for ten years with no problems.

      What really happened was that he was getting too friendly with the snowblower.

      When I was a young fellow the policemen, firemen and city officials in my town were respected people going about the business of the people but times have changed. It`s all about whatever power they might have and less about being public servants. Makes me sad to see what has happened to public employees in the last 40 years or so. I wonder why?
      • Chad 6 mths ago
        I agree with you, I try to always respect cops, but I have seen more and more of them that do not deserve any. It is sad really.
    • Bad Bob  •  Milwaukee, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Just cops being cops.
    • The.Traveller  •  6 mths ago
      Maybe he was "parading without a permit". Can't peacably assemble without a permit, now, can you? That might lead to Anarchy.
    • WC  •  6 mths ago
      I guess he should not have insulted the cop's date.
    • Munchma Quchi  •  Fort Worth, United States  •  6 mths ago
      He was just scared that the dog was going to pee on him and make yellow snow for the bottom part of frosty's snowman.
    • Steven  •  6 mths ago
      Let's hope the cop gets coal in his stocking.

      Guess that big yellow spot on His leg Cheesed Frosty off?
    • Atilla  •  Voorhees, United States  •  6 mths ago
      The cop was just looking to score some Christmas 'Snow'. The obvious distributor, Frosty, didn't want to give-it-up.
