Using what appeared to be a sledgehammer, the officer walked down the street dressed as the infamous Christmas villain with a small heart before breaking down the front door of the home and entering, according to the video.
The suspects were arrested and “The Grinch” was seen rummaging through various items in the home before finding what authorities said illegal drugs and other items related to drug trafficking.
