What do they do on Halloween?

So, some guy down in North Carolina wanted to spread a little Christmas cheer, but he apparently decided to do so in the wussiest town in the South:

Jeffery Acker, who donned the top section of an inflatable snowman Sunday and strolled through downtown Vanceboro while carrying a 4-foot candy cane, said his walk was meant to be inspire holiday spirit, not fear, WCTI-TV, New Bern, N.C., reported Thursday.

[...]

Acker is not accused of any illegal activities and Police Chief William Turner, whose department received four 911 calls about a man in a scary costume, said he has "more important" things to investigate.

The chief then cut the interview short and sped off to the scene of an alleged spider in someone's bathtub.
