Following the call, the Byram Police Department was “on the lookout” for the Grinch and ended up arresting the Christmas “thief.”
The Grinch was still in his Santa costume when police tracked him down and put him in a holding cell with the help of honorary junior officer TyLon.

TyLon then asked his nemesis point blank why he was stealing Christmas. The Grinch just shrugged his shoulders, but he did tell the junior crime fighter that "You have saved Christmas for the people of Byram. Your bravery is unmatched. You have saved the day," The Clarion-Ledger reported.
TyLon then allowed the Grinch to be released, WLBT reported.
TyLon then received a Grinch doll, and was given a promise that when he turns 21, the police chief will give him a job application since TyLon said he wants to be a police officer when he grows up, the Jackson newspaper reported.
