Naughty Clint Westwood will not likely receive a Christmas present from Santa Claus anytime soon.

The 22-year-old drama student at the University of Montana shoved a pumpkin pie into Santa Claus, who was entertaining visitors of Southgate Mall in Missoula.

Westwood has been charged with misdemeanor assault for "smooshing" a pie into the shopping-mall Claus on Wednesday.

The videotaped antic shows Westwood shoving the pie on Santa's face while a girl sat on his lap. He then shouted to the victim: "What do you think of that, Santa?"

Westwood plans to include the footage in a future film entitled "My Crazy Life," a collection of absurd pranks. He was supposed to obtain a film release form from Santa when the authorities collared him.

Westwood will appear in a Missoula Municipal Court on Monday to face the assault charges.

However, the student is keeping his fingers crossed that Santa will turn nice and drop the charge against him.
