5-year-old boy calls 911 to stop Grinch from stealing Christmas

A 5-year-old boy in Mississippi was worried the Grinch was going to steal Christmas after watching too many videos.

The little boy called 911 and asked police for help.

Tylon Pittman was watching a video on a smartphone when called authorities after seeing the Grinch taking presents before Christmas, WLBT reported.

The police said they don’t want the Grinch stealing so they went to Tylon’s house.

“What are you going to do if he tries to steal your Christmas?” the officer asks.

“Take him to jail,” the boy responds.

The two high-five and the officer said, “Good job.”

In another post, the boy shows the video evidence of the Grinch stealing the presents to the officer.

“I just want to tell you the Grinch is not going to steal your Christmas, OK?” the officer said.

Making sure the Grinch would be punished, the Byram Police Department surprised Tylon by allowing him to arrest and take the Grinch into a holding cell at the town’s jail.

Tylon offered to track down any suspects for the police whenever they need help.

Pittman’s mother said the boy likes to call people on the phone, but she didn’t expect this.

“He calls people all the time,” Teresa Brown-Pittman said. “If he gets your number, he’s going to call you and blow you up. But to dial 911, oh my God, no.”
