Ghost-Grabbing Granny

Ghost-Grabbing Granny

A Florida grandmother is facing theft charges after deputies say she stole an inflatable Halloween ghost from a neighbor’s front yard while out looking at decorations with her three grandchildren.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Tonya Mannion’s grandchildren admired the inflatable ghost, and she allegedly responded by pulling over, walking onto the porch, unplugging the decoration and taking it home. Investigators say surveillance video captured the whole thing.

Deputies later found the ghost in her possession, and she reportedly told them she took it because her grandchildren wanted it. The $15 decoration was returned, but the grandmother was arrested and charged with burglary, theft, criminal mischief and contributing to the delinquency of a child. (People)
