A man in a “Frosty the Snowman” costume was arrested Saturday during a Christmas parade in Maryland, accused of scuffling with police and kicking at a police dog.
Kevin Michael Walsh, 52, was charged with assault and disorderly conduct for his alleged actions at the Chestertown parade, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
According to the Cecil Whig, Walsh, in costume, kicked at a police dog that was sitting at an intersection as part of traffic control for the parade. When a police officer tried to escort him away from the crowd, Walsh took off the head portion of his “Frosty” costume and allegedly hit him in the face with it.
Two officers placed Walsh on the sidewalk and arrested him. He could reportedly be heard screaming over the sounds of the parade, “You have no right to arrest me.”
When the officers tried to place Walsh in the patrol car, he allegedly pushed one of them.
But Walsh said he was wrongfully arrested: He told the Associated Press an officer hassled him after he made a remark about the police dog’s presence at the parade. He said he became agitated only after getting arrested.
He said he’s dressed as Frosty in the parade for at least 10 years.
Walsh was released on his own recognizance.

Posted on November 27, 2011 at 12:41pmI’m thinking that maybe Frosty had a few nips before starting off on his parade. No one in their right (sober) mind would kick at a police dog, attached by a leash to a policeman, then take of his fake head and bash the cop!
Report Post »I’m thinking parading-under-the-influence here.
Then there’s the whining about the cop arresting him, after the abuse, that does sound a little like an OWS escapee.

Posted on November 27, 2011 at 1:19pmCorrect, nobody in their right mind would kick a police dog, but someone in a costume with a mask that restricts vision might trip over a police dog. But don’t worry, journalists and cops ALWAYS get the story right.

Posted on November 27, 2011 at 5:14pmNo, i imagine its near impossible to see in that outfit, so dogs that are in the way will be kicked, police officers that are in front of him while he pulls his head off are going to be bopped. Looks to me like this police officer was looking to arrest somebody and poor ol frosty stumbled blindly into his cuffs.

That was my first reaction as well, but it won’t go over well on this site. The “Cops can do no wrong!“ crowd is almost as annoying as the ”All cops suck!” crowd.

Posted on November 27, 2011 at 12:10pmWhy do the police require the use of a dog for traffic control?
Report Post »The dog was likely there to sniff for drugs amongst the many pedestrians.
Im not fan of drugs, but I am even less a fan of unconstitutional searches.
Sounds like Frosty was put on ice for having the snowballs to question the police state.

He immediately had the secret service investigate. Less than 24 hours later, his best agent stood before him…”Mr. President, I have solved the case, but I’m afraid I have bad news for you.
