WATCH: Old Bridge Girl Calls 911 Over Elf on a Shelf

Old Bridge, NJ - Isabelle LaPeruta, 7 years old, had been told not to touch the Elf on the Shelf.

So when she accidentally knocked it over with her ball, she panicked and called 911. And then she realized the error of her ways and, in tears, tried to apologize and shoo the police away when they responded to her Old Bridge home.

Check out this adorable video of Isabelle and Old Bridge police below.

Because Isabelle apologized, Old Bridge police say they understand, even though knocking an elf over won’t ruin Christmas. Unless you’re 7.
