Penalty for unwrapping gifts early: Arrest

‘A mother convinced Rock Hill police to arrest her 12-year-old son after he unwrapped a Christmas present early.

The boy’s great-grandmother had specifically told him not to open his Nintendo Game Boy Advance, which she had wrapped and placed beneath the Christmas tree, according to a police report.

But on Sunday morning, she found the box of the popular handheld game console unwrapped and opened. When the boy’s 27-year-old mother heard about the opened gift, she called police.

“He took it without permission. He wanted it. He just took it,” said the 63-year-old great-grandmother.’

The Smoking Gun has the police report.
