A hefty old man wearing a red Santa hat and purple G-string in Los Angeles this holiday season was caught being a little naughty, when he failed a Breathalyzer.Rick Carroll, 53, of Long Beach, Calif., who also sported a blond wig, black leg warmers and red, lace camisole, allegedly registered just over the legal blood-alcohol limit of .08 percent when officers tested him after he pulled up in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
The 6-foot-4, 280-pound Carroll was booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge and released on $5,000 bail, the newspaper said. His car was impounded. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Chief Ken Garner said officers were pretty sure he was not Santa Claus. "There was no Mel Gibson treatment for him," Garner added, referring to the help the actor received from deputies after his drunken driving arrest last year. "He had to sober up and find his own reindeer."
