Santa Gets Friendly Speed Warning in Ohio
This holiday season, Santa is making his rounds with incredible speed, but even the jolly gift-giver isn’t immune to traffic stops! On Saturday, while dashing through Fulton County, Ohio with Mrs. Claus, Santa was pulled over by the local sheriff for “flying a little too fast.”
Why Was Santa Stopped?
The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office noticed Santa’s sleigh moving much swifter than usual as he made his Christmas deliveries. According to the sheriff:
“No coal was issued – just a friendly reminder that even sleighs need to slow down.”
The light-hearted incident was a humorous way to remind everyone to drive safely during the busy holiday season, whether you’re in a car or a magical sleigh.

Locals in Fulton County were amused by the event. Many praised the sheriff for spreading holiday cheer while emphasizing road safety.
