Boy calls 911 to catch the Grinch
Boy calls 911 to catch the Grinch. Sarah Bloomquist reports during Action News at 12:30 p.m. on December 19, 2017.

A 5-year-old boy in Mississippi was watching videos of the Grinch over the weekend and got concerned the Grinch might try to ruin HIS Christmas.

So he called 911 to get help from the police.

Tylon Pittman's parents were quite surprised when officers showed up at their door.

They weren't alone - the police department was so amused by Tylon's call, they decided to have a little fun.

They showed up with a Grinch and let Tylon arrest him. The Grinch was even put in jail.

After serving his time in the holding cell, Tylon decided to let the Grinch go.
