The Blaze reported Sunday on the man in a “Frosty the Snowman” costume who was arrested over the weekend during the annual Christmas parade in Chestertown, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Police accused him of initiating a scuffle with officers and even kicking a police dog.
Kevin Michael Walsh, who has marched as Frosty in the parade for the last twenty years, is now speaking out to tell his side of the story.
While officers say that the 52-year-old became agitated and violent when a dog-handling cop tried to escort him away from the crowd, Walsh tells FOX 45 in an interview that he did not kick any dogs. It’s an interview that may come off as slightly creepy to some. Walsh is seen walking down the sidewalk, Frosty head in hand, and even puts the head on at one point and starts waving:
See for yourself:
Walsh said that officers grabbed him in full snowman costume and pinned him against the wall, in front of the entire parade. Officers say they subdued Walsh for kicking the dog and assaulting officers, even hitting one in the face with his snowman mask.
Walsh tells FOX that he did not hit the dog, and says he was left by the police in handcuffs chained to a wall in the station for three hours. AP reports that Walsh was released on his own recognizance. He tells the local station that he apologizes for the scuffle and to all the children at the parade who had to see Frosty taken away in handcuffs.

Posted on November 29, 2011 at 6:23amSomething is wrong in this town – he was also arrested over a “plastic bag ordinance”?
Sounds to me like this is not a town, but a prison.
Seriously, who can imagine having police dogs at a small-town parade?
I can easily envision that the snowman could not see down around his feet and it might have appeared he kicked the dog when all he was doing was walking. When my cat cuts in front of me when I am walking and I don’t see her, she goes flying. It looks exactly like an intentional drop kick. And to suddenly be tackled in a crowd, well, who wouldn’t struggle to get back up?

Posted on November 29, 2011 at 12:51pmOf course the police would not lie or exagerate the story. Better yet, they were wrong and would have egg on their faces if the truth came out. Better to let an ICON of good will (unblemished for years) go down for allegations that can not be proven. It is literally a he said she said situation.
Report Post »Does anyone remember the recent OWS incident of the protester “PUSHED” off a wall? The cop did not “cop” (pun intended) to it until the different angle video was released. He too was blaming some one else.
This is what likely happened, the cop probably with good intentions directed the frosty to do something and frosty ignored him or refused to comply. Things went down hill from there.
Simply a citizen living his life and a power monger cop interfering.
Now the citizen must pay while the cop lies.

Posted on November 28, 2011 at 7:28pmThis guy has a John Wayne Gacy look about him. If I were the Police, I would check to see if there are any unsolved missing children cases locally and within the region. John Wayne Gacy liked to entertain the kiddies dressed as a clown. Not sayin’ Frosty here is involved in anything, but he does fit a certain profile and he does seem to like the kiddies… hell, ya’ never know.

Posted on November 28, 2011 at 4:52pmYeah, I’ve seen this before. It isn‘t pretty It won’t be long before the family gets the call. Some say it’s the worst call of their lifetime. That call is from their local police station telling them that their loved one was found wondering the isles of Walmart, calling out for someone named “Rosebud”, seemed very confused he did, and was dressed only in his underwear. It’s a shame, you know, but some folks just go crackers on ya right out of the blue. Oh yeah, there were signs. Subtle signs. Too many now that I look back. Signs that screamed that all was not right. Silent screams they were. Like the time he kept insisting while in the McDonald’s drive-through that they serve his steak medium rare. He’s always ordered them well done, never rare. The time he ate fish for dinner. Being deathly afraid of the water, then eating fish. If only we had listened more instead of sitting silently, doing nothing, intent on not making a sound, then maybe, just maybe we could have heard the signs. It’s the rope. The rope, it just gets stretched too tight I guess. You hear the individual strands snapping, po, pop, twing, twing, twang, but you never suspect that the rope will snap. That rope was a lifeline you know. I lifeline that kills.

Posted on November 28, 2011 at 5:19pmThese snowmen that you describe as a pain in the ass. Uhh, they didn’t like, uhhh, suddenly grow an ice-cycle did they? I mean this pain you describe, especially the location may well be easily explained. I would suggest that in the future you keep a pocket or two full of rock salt. I’m quite sure these “snow-men will leave you alone from then on.
