Man Accused of Stealing Day Care's Gifts

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A father was charged with burglary and grand theft after he took presents from underneath a day care's Christmas tree, police said.

Carl M. Griffin was arrested Wednesday after police believe he stole the presents intended for 44 children from the Little Foxxes Daycare in Gainesville.

Griffin told police he took the presents to feed an alcohol and drug habit, and that he also wanted to buy gifts for his 7-year-old daughter, who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, authorities said.

Detectives felt sorry for the girl and collected stuffed animals and games for her.

Police officers, high school students and area residents donated gifts to replace those stolen at the day care center.

Griffin was being held at Alachua County Jail without bond. Information on his lawyer wasn't immediately available.
