The Grinch may not have liked Christmas, but he seems to have found something that his heart is fond of -- directly traffic!
Monroe County Sheriff's Office Col. Lou Caputo donned the Grinch costume Tuesday afternoon and stood beside deputies as they aimed a speed radar gun at motorists traveling by a Keys elementary school.
Caputo says he portrays the fictional character created by children's author Dr. Seuss to give motorists a "gift" but also to emphasize obeying speed limits in school zones.
Drivers caught who travel about 5 mph or less above the school zone speed limit have their choice of an onion courtesy of the Grinch or a ticket.
Those speeding beyond that likely get a citation.
