A cop in Ohio almost ended up on Santa’s naughty list after pulling over Santa and Mrs. Claus for speeding … and the hilarious traffic stop is all on video.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s office shared video of one of their deputies pulling over an elderly couple dressed as Santa and Mrs. Clause over the weekend for “flying a little too fast.”

When the deputy realizes he’s talking to Father Christmas he exclaims, “Santa!!!”

Jolly old Saint Nick was packing heat too … he told the deputy he had a concealed carry weapon and the deputy replied, “Santa has a CCW? Times are rough!!!”

Santa said he’s got to protect himself and Mrs. Claus chimes in, “And the North Pole isn’t what it used to be.”

It’s gotta be the friendliest and funniest traffic stop ever recorded … there’s jokes about Santa’s age, Rudolph, and Christmas gifts … and the Clauses even pose for a pic with the deputy.

Things went sideways fast for streamer Clavicular ’cause he’s now been kicked off the streaming platform “Kick” … after a wild Christmas Eve livestream appeared to show him running over someone with his car.

The chaotic incident unfolded during a live broadcast on December 24th, where viewers watched Clavicular — real name Braden Peters — as he hits the gas while someone is laying on top of his windshield … one passenger freaks out while the other asks, “Is he dead? Hopefully.”

Shortly after clips went viral, Kick moved fast — removing the streamer from the platform entirely. Kick has not publicly detailed what policy was violated, but the ban comes amid mounting backlash and questions over how the livestream was allowed to continue in the first place.

Braden’s only response to the incident so far is an AI image of him in his Cybertruck running over the individual with the caption, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” … he has not publicly addressed the allegations or the ban otherwise.

It’s unclear whether anyone was seriously injured, and authorities have not yet confirmed if an investigation is underway.

Patricia Heaton — who played the mom in the hit comedy show “The Middle” — is paying tribute to her late co-star Pat Finn, after the devastating news of his passing.

As you know … “The Middle” star Pat Finn died Monday after a long battle with cancer. Patricia took to Instagram to post a solemn statement about Pat, stating that, “One of the finest and funniest human beings I know has left to be with Jesus.”

She continues to say … “Pat Finn, whom most of you know as Bill Norwood on The Middle had been battling cancer the last few years. At the too-young age of 60, he leaves behind his sweetheart Donna and three children.”

Heaton shares … “He was adored by all who knew him, and he leaves behind a legacy of love, friendship, and wonderful comedy.” Then mentions their 2023 movie “Unexpected“ where Pat graced the film with a “scene-stealing turn as a crazy psychiatrist.”

She ends her message with, “Our hearts are broken, but as faithful Catholics, we know we will see each other again through God‘s mercy. Rest in peace dear brother.”

Family sources told us Pat passed away Monday evening at his home in Los Angeles, and he was surrounded by his family.

Pat came up in Hollywood around the same time as his good friend Chris Farley. He and Chris attended Marquette University in 1987, played rugby together there … and were roommates in Chicago when they both joined the Second City comedy troupe.

He’s probably best known for his role on “The Middle,” where he played Bill Norwood from 2011 to 2018.

Other celebs like “Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet and Dane Cook paid tribute to the late actor … as well as his daughter Cassidy, who wrote, “Dad … you were and are a role model and an inspiration to everyone you met. I tried to think of a word to describe you, but no word could ever do it justice. You are Pat Finn.”
