Can You Guess What This Person Was Charged With?

The answer for Mary Jo Smith, 47, is a curious mix of a bad relationship, a Jeep, and Christmas tunes in Connelsville, Pa.


Smith was not happy with her break up with Alan McCutcheon, 64, who was setting up Christmas decorations in his front yard when Smith came barreling at him in her Jeep while blaring Christmas music. After barely making him a hood ornament, she tore up his yard and almost hit his family. She crashed into an above ground pool and hit a relative’s pickup truck in the process. During the rampage, witnesses said that Smith yelled “Merry Christmas” to all.

Smith is now facing charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and driving under the influence in the wake of the the incident.

In terms of creepy choices, I would think this might do it for the holiday Jeep rampage:

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He’ll come around when the chimes ring out
That it’s Christmas morn again
Peace on earth will come to all
If we just follow the light
So lets give thanks to the lord above
That Santa Claus comes tonight!
