Officer Spots Christmas Vacation's 'Cousin Eddie' On Street

LODI, WI -- An officer on patrol in Lodi, Wis., saw a classic Christmas movie come to life on Monday.

The officer took a photo on Monday out the driver's-side window of his squad car. The Christmas decoration was a recreation of a scene from the 1989 comedy "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

The resident set up a mannequin propped up to resemble “Cousin Eddie,” Randy Quaid's character in the movie “Christmas Vacation.”

In the recreated scene, Cousin Eddie empties his family’s RV portable waste tank into a sewer — which is illegal.

This is the third year in a row "Cousin Eddie" has been set up in Lodi.

"He is up to his old tricks again. If you see him around Lodi, please keep a eye on him," police said in a Facebook post.
