Grinch Steals Salvation Army Red Kettle Cash
December 14, 2015
This is a true story about a Grinch who stole Christmas.
Around 5 p.m. on Saturday , a man tried to pick up a Salvation Army kettle filled with money near the entrance to Cordova Mall. The man told a volunteer he was collecting the kettle on behalf of the Salvation Army, but when the volunteer asked for identification, the man left and didn’t return.
But the suspect wasn’t done.
Around 5:20 p.m. Saturday he went to Sam’s Club and collected two kettles from volunteers. The suspect, who was wearing a red apron similar to one worn by Salvation Army volunteers, said he was early because the Army’s van had broken down.
According to Officer Amanda Woods, the suspect even joined in singing along with the volunteers in an effort to not raise their suspicions.
The suspect was described as a black male wearing a red apron. He was about 5 feet 8 inches tall and medium size in build.
The two kettles contained an undisclosed amount of cash.
Anyone having information on the incident is asked to contact the Pensacola Police Department at (850) 435-1900 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

@Jack Frost,
$126, 920 is the last verifiable salary statement for the CEO of the Salvation Army. Please check your facts before posting.
Yeah, it’s a lot more than I make, but I still don’t think that’s bad for running such a huge organisation.
This is an evil crook indeed, who broke the law. However, what I would like to know is why a non-profit charity group pays its President 200k a year plus home costs included. Doesn’t sound right to me…

WOW! I hope you get what is coming to you, you piece of trash!
This is the lowest of the low….stealing from those trying to help others in need. I hope they catch him!
There is a special place in hell,and hopefully prison, for people like this.
It will surely come back on him. You cannot do something so low and reap good benefits.
God saw what you did, enjoy your evil gotten money while it lasts, but rest assured you will answer for it soon enough. SHAME on you.
What a shame.
