According to U.S. police, there has been a sudden increase in extraordinary crimes over the Christmas season, which included snowman stabbers and drunk float drivers.

One such person, David Allen Rodgers, 42, was arrested on Dec. 3 for driving while intoxicated. He was at the wheel of a float during the annual Christmas parade in Anderson, South Carolina, when he sped down the street in a float with 19 people aboard, ran a red light and led police on a 3-mile chase.

According to AP, the police found an open container of alcohol in his truck.

"I made a very bad judgment on my part," Rodgers said at a court hearing.

In yet another strange incident, 32 plastic baby Jesus dolls were stolen from nativity scenes set up in people's front yards in Chicago.

The kidnappers reportedly lined up all the dolls along the fence outside a Chicago woman's home, who rounded them up and turned them over to her parish priest.

According to the Catholic League, which tracks nativity vandalism, many such extraordinary crimes have been reported in 35 U.S. cities from Fayateville, North Carolina, to Mission Viejo, California.

In Ohio's Hamilton County, two18-year-olds were arrested after they used screwdrivers to stab a 12-foot-tall inflatable Frosty the Snowman.
