Inflatable Santa Stabbing Starts a Police Investigtion

Stabbed Santa Starts a Police Investigtion

Phoenix Police Investigate Inflatable Santa Stabbing

 

The Phoenix police are now investigating after someone has stabbed an inflatable Santa in front of a South Phoenix Home. Talk about cruel and unusual. Who would want to stab an inflatable Santa.

 

James Ahlgrim’s Statement about the Stabbing (Santa Owner)

What’s the little inflatable Santa hurting?

 

According to the report, you could see two men that were spotted on a surveillance camera. You could see them walking by the Ahlgrim’s home. The two men then looked to see if the coast was clear, however they did not realize the camera was catching their every move, the Ahlgrim’s home caught them on three different cameras.

 

Mr. Ahlgrim’s Statment:

There’s another camera right here that picks up all the way to the end of the street.

 

 

You could even see on the tape, that one of the guys slowly approached the inflatable Santa.

 

Ahlgrim’s Statment

He was making sure, looking around to see if anyone was coming out of the house and there he goes stabbing him.

 

 

You can then see the man actually stabbing the poor innocent, inflatable Santa three times. Talk about an over kill. The incident happened just after dusk the Sunday right before Thanksgiving.

 

Ahlgrim Worries About His Kids Safety

The part that bothers me is that it was early in the evening and any one of my kids could have been coming out. If they are going to stab a Santa, what else are they going to stab?

 

Jason Ahlgrim wants both of the people in the video to be arrested, which you can’t blame him. For one, that’s his property and second what kind of sick person does this? What if the children would have been outside?What if the creeps come back?

 

Police are asking that if you have any information on this to please call the Phoenix Police Department.
