The stuffed reindeer had apparently got out of hand so 6-year-old Kevon Gorham, who wants to be a police officer, handcuffed one of his favourite toys.
Just to make sure the animal didn't run, or fly, away, the child attached one end of the toy handcuffs to his own wrist. And that meant the family had to call the real police.
North Charleston police patrolman Phillip Alger arrived and tried a key to his handcuffs and then bolt cutters. But he couldn't use the cutters without hurting the boy.
Then three firefighters arrived and tried soapy water and a bigger pair of bolt cutters, but again to no avail.
Finally North Charleston Fire Department engineer Burgess Atkins used a less involved method - he picked the toy lock with a hairpin.
