Here There Be Elves

Ocean City, Maryland – On July 16, 2008, an officer on routine patrol observed a man behind the wheel of his car with the engine running, the lights and radio on and the windows down. The officer had to use smelling salts to awaken the man, who allegedly woke up and ordered a chicken taco from the officer, believing he was somewhere else.

The man was identified as Donald Thomas Groves III.

The officer then handed Groves a chicken taco.
