CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol is searching for a runaway Santa.
FHP released a video from Saturday showing a trooper trying to stop a man in Citrus County who was dressed as jolly ol’ Saint Nick.
Troopers said the bad Santa was weaving in and out of traffic on his motorcycle, reaching speeds over 120 miles per hour.
Troopers then started a pursuit, but the suspect in red faked them out at a gas station and sped away.

The sleigh must be in the shop, but last night Mr. Claus didn't pause for any cause. Anyone that recognizes ol' St. Nick please feel free to call *FHP (*347) and let us know! pic.twitter.com/UXB9M8qGaM
