Ocean County Prosecutor's Office Arrests Elf On The Shelf's Evil Twin Brother

"Twinkle" being held on $1 billion bail until after Christmas.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office has nabbed the “Elf on the Shelf’s” evil twin brother “Twinkle” for impersonating his sibling and making false reports to Santa about naughty Ocean County children, spokesman Al Della Fave said.

“Twinkle” was turned in by Santa himself, who discovered the diabolical plan when he cross-checked his Naughty/Nice book, Della Fave said.

“It’s alleged Twinkle was impersonating his brother (Elf On The Shelf) and making false reports to Santa of naughty behavior by OC children in an attempt to ruin their Christmas morning joy,” he said.

Twinklei s not going anywhere. His bail has been set at $1 billion, with a no early release stipulation until after Christmas, so he can’t ruin any Ocean County child’s holiday, Della Fave said.
