Santa, don’t you guide my sleigh tonight.
A driver dressed as Santa Claus was arrested early Monday for crashing into several vehicles and fleeing the scene in California, according to a report.
The bad Santa was driving a Subaru Crosstrek around 1:30 a.m. when he struck multiple cars parked in Chula Vista, news station KGTV reported.
Witnesses said Kris Kringle then ditched his car and ran, leaving behind a passenger who was ejected onto the street, the outlet reported.
“He was fully dressed as Santa Claus and I saw him hop out of the vehicle and I saw him run away … like ‘Bad Santa,’ you know?” said a bystander, referring to the 2003 comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton.
Though he fled, Saint Nick reportedly left parts of his holiday get-up, wallet and identification inside the vehicle.
Police were able to track the driver down using information from his ID and took him into custody on unspecified charges.
The Santa — whose name hasn’t been released — was brought to the hospital to be evaluated for possibly driving under the influence, KGTV reported.
