SALEM, N.H. — A man dressed as Santa was arrested after he walked into a New Hampshire mall and dropped his pants in front of some teens.
Police said Richard Mullen walked into the Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem and performed the act.
“He continued doing this multiple times,” Salem police spokesman Robert Larson said. “He was asked to leave the mall by mall security. On his way out of the mall, he dropped the pants one more time as a couple was walking in.”
Mullen did not work for the mall as Santa.
Residents at the mall said they were shocked by the man’s actions.
“How would you explain that to them that Santa Claus is walking around pulling down his pants?” a mall shopper said. “How would you explain that to them? Yeah, that’s disturbing.”
Mullen was charged with disorderly conduct.
