The Grinch found in Blacksburg

BLACKSBURG, Va. – If you were in Blacksburg recently, you may have noticed a furry green guy running through town.

For the second year in a row, the Grinch found himself in Blacksburg wreaking havoc.

Each day he stopped in places all throughout town while Blacksburg police tried to track him down.

But at the end of the week at Blacksburg’s winter festival, he was finally caught.

“We use the Grinch campaign as a way to kind of throw out some of those [public service announcements] in a little bit different manner that somebody may normally disregard,” said Lieutenant Kale Craver with the Blacksburg Police Department.

Lieutenant Craver said the Grinch has been arraigned, talked to Santa, and he is staying on the naughty list for this year
