Police setting up a sting in a restaurant parking lot had a description of the man who used the Internet to solicit a 15-year-old girl for a sexually explicit photo shoot. Still, they didn't expect Santa Claus.

Police arrested John Thomas Peters, known as Santa John on the Triangle Santa Buddies website, at the shopping center on Highway 64 and Lake Pine Drive in Apex. When they set up the Wednesday sting, police expected a man named Brad Taylor to enter the McDonald's restaurant.

"This morning I felt dirty," said Capehart. "I look in the mirror in the mornings, and I see Santa Claus winking back at me - but this morning I felt tainted. Why? Because the Santa oath and commitment has been violated by a Santa Buddy. It's painful, hurtful to the image. It's sad."

That last quote makes it sound like a Will Farrel Movie.
