Just when you think things could not be more different in 2020 with this pandemic comes the tale from the Central Oregon Coast Thursday, Dec. 10. Police dispatch started receiving 9-1-1 calls in the afternoon about a male dressed in a Santa suit walking alongside Hwy. 101 with what looked like a handgun. That got an immediate response by officers who quickly located 25-year old Jeffrey Stamps, decked out in a Santa outfit. A little question & answer back and forth led to a pat down. Thats when Santa pulled out the weapon from his waistband and officers responded with a Taser. Just a reminder this is going on alongside Hwy. 101 with vehicles passing by. The Taser apparently didn’t have much of an effect through the Santa suit and Stamps took off. He dropped the weapon, turned out to be all-black replica CO2 BB gun. Santa gave up and was lodged in the Lincoln Co. Jail at Newport on charges of Assaulting a Police Officer, Interfering with Police, Menacing, Resisting Arrest and Disorderly Conduct. The Santa suit was exchanged for jail overalls.
